47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Shaffer92]

He’s nothing like he was for me. He’s played ok but his standards are much higher than most. The fact pep not playing him suggest he’s not happy either

Or it's because Pep has a massive ego and simply doesn't want to admit that Grealish has been a massive disappointment so he keeps throwing him out there to prove him and Txiki right..

Ask yourself this question, is he better than the players that are getting picked before him, like Jack. He should be in the side every week for me, same with Bernie. They give us the spark and dynamism that we was sadly lacking yesterday.

Here's another question to go alongside yours.
Has Jack Grealish EVER given us that spark that those two do in 18 months.....baring one half vs a weakened Chelsea team in the cup (and even that was nothing major - just an improvement to the level he should be performing at every week)

What an imagination you have

Hoping we see more of both Phil and Bernie over the next few weeks. With the rest they've now had they should be like new signings.

Perhaps you forgot Bernie did play vs Everton. But it is understandable because he was invisible...except that playacting yellow.

If Pep’s intent on doing that weird 3 at the back hybrid system, he should use Foden and Cancelo as actual wingbacks to add some width, flair and excitement, with Alvarez up front with Haaland.

Foden and Cancelo wingbacks like ... what he did at Anfield?

Foden and grealish should be both be playing. It’s worked well previously.

Our record with all three in the side is really impressive. Think they've only played as a trio three times (West Ham away, Sevilla away, United at home), but we've won all three games with an aggregate score of 12-3.

 

[youngbob]

Just had a look. We've started with Foden, Haaland, Grealish in the following games:

Premier League
West Ham (a) 2-0
Wolves (a) 3-0
Man United (h) 6-3

Champions League
Sevilla (a) 4-0

That's it. No idea why Pep doesn't play them together more often.

Not sure things are that simple

Jack played really well against united this season but you would be hard press to think of that many really good performances from him over his City career.
