47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Nails]

Was told yesterday Pep isn't happy with his intensity in training. Feels he's saving himself for the World Cup.

I've heard this too. Pep blasted him for a lack of effort chasing balls down on Saturday, too. Very noticeable.

Can understand Foden minds in the World Cup so pep is doing the right thing and not playing him.. hope he performs at the World Cup and shows all his talents but Southgate is negative manager..

I get that when we're ahead and in control but not when we're chasing the points, more urgency and even a bit of a gamble is needed occasionally, Grealish and Foden were poor yesterday. Kev wasn't afraid to take the defenders on and it paid off in the end.

De bruyne showed them how it's done.when he went wide left he attacked the full back constantly. Never mind the sideways backwards shite ,that's the way to do it. The constant recycling does my fucking head in.

IF it's true, sorry but I cannot understand Foden.

Yes the world cup is a big deal but so is playing for the club of your dreams and a club chasing their 3rd title on the bounce.

KDB, Rodri, Gundo etc busting their guts on Saturday, what an example they set.

Personally to me it looks like he is not fully fit and I would be gutted if he is holding back for the WC.

Personally i think Foden could do with missing the World Cup & having a rest

Whats the crack with Phil, heard Pep wasnt best pleased with how he played vs Liverpool

 

[waspish]

He is so excited for the World Cup I think his mind is well and truly on it and I’ll be surprised if he starts Saturday

Has he started since signing the contract? Quite strange that he’s out of favour given how in-form he had been.

Think we have to be careful of saying he’s out of favour when there could be various reasons he’s not started recently. It can’t be ruled out of course but it’s not a given that it’s the case.

Brilliant goal today. If he could get 15 in the league that would be great
