We all are, but next game focus now

Foden started 3 games in 6 days. Was always going to play only 60 minutes or so. He'll be fine. Form soon come :)

On a side note, members of this forum like to scapegoat less popular players when fan favourites don't perform well or don't start games.

Last season, Laporte was at fault for Stones's problems, as if he was injuring Stones in training. Yesterday, Cancelo was at fault for Foden being invisible yet again, as if Foden wasn't invisible at Stamford Bridge a week earlier.

Laporte and Cancelo did more than the other defenders for our title last season by having 69 league starts between them, in contrast to Stones and Zinchenko who had fewer than 20 starts combined. But if you go by this forum, you may get the impression that Stones and Zinchenko won us the title, while Laporte and Cancelo were making mistake after mistake. Pathetic stuff.

We need to find Foden's most effective position and give him a run of games in that position , when Pep plays Phil he can start in three or four different roles in the team , how can this help him gain form and consistency ? , i know its a criminal offence to criticise Pep to some on here, but Foden is the best English talent in donkeys years and Pep has coached him briliantly up to the present , but Foden now needs a fixed position in the team and given some time to impress.

Right now,given his current level of development that position is on the right supporting the striker.

He is not the only one suffering because of rotation etc.

Pep at least needs to find the core of his team and,as much as possible, stick with it.

The back four has been porous because of rotation , granted there has been injuries but Pep has played Akanji and had Dias on the bench a couple of times , a prime example of his "tinkering". Dont know about you but in previous years i could name seven or eight mainstays who have to start games , now i havent got a clue.

Our team needs to be built on the spine of

--------Eddie------
-----Dias-Stones---
-------Rodri-----
------Haaland-----

Personally id add Foden and Bernie to that.

Would add KDB to that , so they are the eight players who should be starting Premier league and Champs league games ,barring injuries. the other three positions can be rotated , but Pep is changing six or seven every game and it isnt working.
Apologies i know this is the Foden thread but its relative

Just watching Saka and I look back to the fearlessness that Foden had against United and when was up against Liverpool away when he gave Robertson a torrid time.

If you read most players threads, they all talk about a player out of form. If a lot of players are out of form, surely the issue must be wide than the individual players?
