Seems like Pep probably planned to sub him for Grealish after an hour anyway, but not squaring the ball accelerated that a bit. A 15 minute penalty.

no he also very clearly insinuated that Foden did not make the correct movements that he planed with him pre-game. Also this is the exact reason pep will play Grealish ahead of Foden in midfield as long as KDB is here.Seems like Pep probably planned to sub him for Grealish after an hour anyway, but not squaring the ball accelerated that a bit.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see that Grealish/Mahrez/Foden switch at half time fairly regularly this season. Keeps all three of them ticking over and fresh and happy. I'd be flabbergasted if it was a punishment sub. He's entitled to take on the shot, and if he misses he can get a bollocking from the other player. All part of the game, you don't get to play for City without having a bit of an ego.

When do you think he'll start playing there? Because I don't remember a single game with him in midfield yet.
Pep's line on the substitution...
May have been partially about not passing that time, but seems to have been a wider issue that had him wanting Jack on the pitch.
I really think it can only be good for Foden if Grealish and Mahrez are in form and he has to properly compete with them for his place in the team. It's part of his maturing process.

And neither should it, something is wrong if they are happy to be subbed.I don't believe being regularly subbed at half time would keep any of them happy

You couldn’t make it up TFCHe doesn't blue, just lots of people seeing their arse about one of the most gifted footballers to pull on a blue shirt because he didn't pass the ball. We won 4-0 ffs.

Tbh that last line in the second tweet reads like he was subbed cos he didn't pass ha. Not arsed for what its worth, but it does read that way.
'but he is young and sometimes has to understand what to do...'
Yeah, seems like an obvious reference.
