If he doesn’t have a long successful career, it’ll be because of injury. He’s already a marked man at his age, which means years of getting hacked, stood on, ankle tapped and worse.

Hopefully, he has the nous and guile to avoid most, if not all, of it.

Lets hope David taught him well, because he got that same treatment.

Gazza would find it much harder playing today.

Would Foden be capable of scoring a goal like this . I am not too sure.

Gazza liked to carry the ball and was not known for passing to team mates unless as a last resort.

The modern pressing game is not just about allowing less time on the ball but swarming making it harder to carry the ball and and closing down passing options. Space is at a premium and teams set traps to restrict supply and options.

No doubt Gazza would always show flashes of brilliance but the game has changed and he would need more awareness and discipline as well as work harder to fit in a Pep side.

Much as I appreciated Gazza as a player, equally there are now times I just marvel at watching City play. Phil Foden has it all. Gazza was of a different era so comparisons are difficult.

Gazza had those four things you mention . Although he wasn't as much of a goal threat as Foden as he played in
midfield all the time where as Foden mainly plays in the front three.

So what stopped him from ever playing for a top club?

The real question is Gazza will be able to score a goal like that now. i bet you he would not get past the first defender
