So from what I can see here.

1. The United player has absolutely no chance to shoot, so not comparable to Phil who had an opportunity.

2. The United player slowed down leading up to the ball unlike Phil who was at top speed running towards it.

3. The United players pass nutmegs the Liverpool defender (which is pretty lucky), and he had 3 options in the box, unlike Phil who had one.

This is just getting embarrassing from this forum honestly.

Phil in an instant has to pick between 2 valid options, and perhaps picked the wrong one, but given how often he scores from the left and the fact that it's on, and considering I can see him thinking he can't make the pass come off... I'm thinking yeah, let's back the fuck off him for this action.

If his recent performances had been flawless then I agree criticism would be unjustified. But they haven’t been.
Posters can still be happy to bits that he plays for us, cheer him on at the match, but also after the game reflect on his performances on here and make some critical comments as well as positive ones.
Just because he’s a wonderful young talent for club and country, who supports the club, shouldn’t mean that critical comments are a non-starter. It shouldn’t be an either/or situation.

That's true, but some on here take it way too far.
 
Am not convinced Phil is a natural LW..neither is Jack. He seems better playing more centrally..He is more a David Silva than a Sane. We need a natural LW, but then the midfield gets overloaded with Phil Jack Kevin Gundog Bernie Rodri and Phillips. I know Pep likes playing players perhaps out of their natural position, but it does not always work out.Pep has to make do with the squad he has,rotate, and equally look to the future, not an easy job.
 
Is this going to be a thing this year that foden hates Haaland? I'm seeing it pop up a lot since newcastle
 
My take on the non pass saga, its not that he couldn't pass because the defender was in the way, he could have tried to get around the defender, made an angle for the pass, give the defender something to think about, or maybe even attempt to take the defender on to make a better angle for the shot.
Think people are missing the bigger issue here

Really he’s been Leroy’s replacement and is comparable. I’m just disappointed that despite the obvious physical development he has made he hasn’t accelerated in numbers and consistency from where he was 2 years ago. He perhaps could have been as guaranteed a starting place as De Bruyne and Rodri by now and he isn’t. just another forward to rotate.

Should we compare him to messi?

Speed - yes
Dribbling - yes
Wrong foot - maybe not
Shooting ability - yes
Skills - yes

Pep said he was as talented and even tried to play him in the false 9 at a similar age.

Unbelievable if u think that Foden is anywhere near Messi. What am I reading here?

scapegoat
noun
1.
a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, especially for reasons of expediency.

Yep truly amazing that our players have risen to a place where criticism is banished for fear of pissing people off, its a forum ffs the clue is in the name
