Still not back to his best , needs a few more games to back into his rythym and not worried at all , he will be ripping opponents to pieces when we need it at the business end of the season , ditto for KDB.

He came of at half time because of his ankle pep said the same ankle that Southgate played him when injured the **** because since that injury he hasn’t been back fully fit.

where did he say that? Phil suffered a foot injury with England. The ankle injury is from the everton game when he got rolled up on.

Dont understand playing him if its not right. Sounds like it might need managing so playing him so soon after Watford in a meaningless game isnt the best move

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He didn’t look fit and shouldn’t have played

Gordon did that on purpose, he's a sly little fucker, barged Tierney in the back and into the advertising hoarding's last night, he's going to injure someone badly soon.

I've said it before- he's wasted on the wing. Especially vs fast and physical fullbacks. He needs to be in the center of the park, turning with the ball and attacking defenses.

I agree that he'd be able to showcase a lot more of his qualities if he was more central. The problem is that playing in midfield in a Guardiola team is so demanding and clearly Pep isn't ready to trust him in that role yet, at least not against good teams anyway. I remember he started in midfield away at Leeds last season and the game kind of passed him by. Since then he's only really got a chance to play there against lower league sides in the cups or maybe if a game is pretty much won, Pep might sub a midfielder off and move Phil there. It's a gradual process but I do think he'll end up in midfield in a couple of seasons, perhaps when KDB and Gundogan are either playing a lot less or have left the club.

Looks fit. His delivery from corners are incredible.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

He was a bit sloppy defensively for me. That chance they had at the end came from his non challenge although he wasn’t the only one not busting a guy in that passage of play.

He is 21. If Pep dosent trust him at 21 to play in central midfield. He never will.

With foden range of passing and his ability to beat players. He can be the best midfielder in the Premier league.

He would blow that pretender jorginho out of the water.
