47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[buckshot]

How many championships would the Lakers have won if Magic refused to pass to Kareem?

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Two easy tap ins he's deprived Haaland of because of greediness.

Should've been 2-0 up and then we would've just picked them off on the break.

 

[Phil1]

Not only should he be benched he should go to the bottom of the queue for that position now. Refusing to pass to our goal scorer in a promising position twice is just taking the piss. What's the matter Phil? Can't stand there is a younger player getting more headlines than you?

Some of our fanbase’s reaction to Foden this season has been fucking disgraceful.
That pass wasn’t as simple as people are making out. Had he played it forward the keeper would have picked it up, had he cut it back the defender blocks it easily.
His overall game today wasn’t terrible by any stretch.
Wasn’t fantastic either but the overreactions to him are becoming a bit tiresome.

I agree watch it back it is a tough pass to Haaland, if it got blocked we would all be crying that he should have shot. Not the same as last weeks.

 

[King Jay]

Let’s see how many Haaland Fans will turn up and hope that Foden won’t ever play for us again.

I think he should have attempted the pass but people are overreacting yet again. I forget how tedious it can be on here.

Poor game. He will be on the bench next week I think if Grealish is fit. Regardless of the pass issue, his decision making was poor all game and to be honest I wasn’t overly impressed with his defensive work at times.

Yeah I’m much more concerned about his general inability to affect the play than not attempting a pass he should’ve made

 

[buckshot]

Everybody on here wants Foden to succeed, but through the first 3 matches you can't defend his lack of interest in setting up Haaland. Every forward players first thought should be to get it to #9 in the box.

What?! Sure, Haaland's fans are pissed, but they are not City fans so who cares. But imagine Grealish doing that and the meltdown BM would be. Foden fucked up and has done it twice now. He should be criticized whether he is academy or not. He is too protected sometimes, and he needs criticism to grow.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

This lad needs to get back to proving himself.

No doubt. He had countless chances 1 v 1 and rarely even attempted to take on his man. Pressure makes defenses make mistakes, they thrive when the attack is lethargic.

I simply don’t think that pass was as straight forward as being made out. He should be protected for fucks sake, that’s what being a supporter is all about, not fucking whinging because he didn’t make a pass which was likely to have been blocked if he tried.

 

[Gaz76]

Not great from foden again today, he did try but like I've said before he's not really progressing, needs to knuckle down.
Matters jack shit to me if he came from the academy or the moon, if he's not doing the business on the pitch then he should be called out for it, others have said if grealish played like that he would get pelters for it

 

[skillman]

I can forgive the odd mistake up top but defensively in the first half he was scandalous. Men running off the back of him like nobodies business. Not like him to be lacklustre

Grealish has played like that, countless times.

The over the top criticism of both is equally dull.

Oh no not "dull" anything but that

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Oh no not "dull" anything but that

Well I could go off on one about reactionary dickheads feeling the need to act like drama queens every time the latest scapegoat doesn't put in a 7+/10 performance and micro-analysing every perceived mistake and not having the mental capacity to differentiate between form and class but I'm not sure they deserve more than one syllable.
