47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[AlfieBorden]

Was you here when dzeko played for us?

Have Algerian IP’s been blocked to prevent the Mahrez fundamentalists from issuing fatwas when he doesn’t start?

 

[iTyler]

Hope he starts this evening. He really should be starting more games for us than Mahrez.

Pep is doing him no favours at all by making him hog the touchline when he does give him a start. Maybe Foden should be doing more but for the love of God, get him playing more centrally.

He does need to be doing more

Gets better every time he's left out the team

Obviously he wasn’t great today, but I’m not sure I agree with the way he’s being managed at the moment. Similar with our other wingers.

The foden that’s one of our best players takes people on and creates chances. As soon as he gets the ball now it’s all about recycling possession, passing it back or staying really far out wide.

I want to see him in midfield and starting every game - not playing regularly is effecting him imo. All city fans know how good he is.

Poor tonight got the ball and passed it back.

But he started tonight?

 

[Project]

The tactics didn’t quite help anybody - potentially a redeeming factor. But that was poor. I don’t say that much with Phil. Whether he’s been playing like that in training hence not starting, or the lack of starts has affected his confidence we won’t know. But he can’t complain it back on the bench for the derby.

Poor tonight got the ball and passed it back.

The whole team as an attack was wank for most of that game, certainly in the first half. He was no worse than anyone else. Guardiola made a pigs ear of the first 45 minutes.
