47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Scareye]

The lad is utter class and one of us.
He will come good sooner rather than later.

Or what? Will you tell your mum?

yes, she won't be happy

There is a lot of knee jerk reactions. To say he will never be the same player again is ridiculous. All players have dips in form and they also have runs of good form, wasn't long ago we were all saying how well he was playing.

You do realise that this is a BM thread ? :)

The lad has had a stop start season with injury the world cup and us trying diferent formations, however he is top class and when fully fit and with a run of games he will be back to the exceptional talent he is.

Hopefully will be fit to get in a few games soon

I genuinely think that losing his England place would be a huge positive. He was flying before the World Cup, then 6 weeks of Southgate’s crushing negativity and prehistoric tactics, and his confidence looks completely shot. Pep is now trying to get him going again with a bit of tough love.

Not true, his goal return for us but his performances were nowhere his previous levels this season even before the world cup

The media are creaming themselves over a rashford and his ‘amazing run of form’

Foden is two goals behind him and same number of assists and has had a stop/start season so far

Nowhere near previous levels? The derby at our place wasn’t bad from memory.

So would you say City have been at previous levels this season then because we were outstanding for 60 minutes that game?

Phil is one of a few players including Bernado and Cancelo who are in a slump and need to get back to form if we are going to chase down Arsenal. All players who make a massive difference when playing well.
Who will be the first to get back to their best?

No I wouldn’t, we clearly haven’t been overall. But I do not think it is fair to say that pre World Cup Foden was nowhere near previous levels. In fact against Brentford in a really poor overall display just before the break, he scored a great goal.
it is about opinions, but I think Foden has either been injured, dejected or embroiled in scandal every time he links up with England. Which was my original point, City would benefit if he got left out of a few squads.
