They were all bad tonight , but look at Phil's last few games , and apart from Chelsea on Sunday were i praised him highly in this player thread , he has been miles away from his true form

He’s going to be, he’s a young player that’s been shunted all over the pitch to often accommodate far inferior players..
He’s not building up consistency.

They all are.

I think only Stones and Rodri have been good in any sort of consistency.

We are miles off it as a team.

Mahrez looks on it too, but youre right we have sooo many players off colour. I'd still play Foden ahead of Grealish for the Derby cos even in his poor from he still gets more balls in the area.

If tonight is a true peek at how he’ll fair, through the middle, in years to come, I think some blues will be in for a real shock. He’s certainly not on Messi’s trajectory anymore, didn’t show any inkling of being able to lift the players around him and drag us though.

Granted it’s tough when the rest of the team play like that, but I hoped to see him dictating. Let’s hope it’s a funk he can get himself out of.

How can Foden ever succeed when shite like that is posted.

This isn’t a dig at you but Foden has never been on ‘Messi’s trajectory’. Messi is a one off, all time great.

Foden is good midfielder with the potential to be a top midfielder. He’s not a kid anymore and has failed to nail a starting role for club and country.

I wonder what Messi was doing at 22 years old.

I wasn’t necessarily suggesting he ever was but that’s certainly the feeling reading the stuff on here in in the media. Coupled with Pep saying he’s the most talented teenager he’s ever coached, you can understand why people get their hopes up.

I almost totally agree with you, though I think with elite mentality he’d still be flying right now. He still could be.

Yeah forgot about Mahrez.

I would n’all, Grealish is too predictable.

That was just biased delusion from anyone who thought it.

Messi is arguably the greatest football player of all time. Foden was never on that trajectory.
 
I know everyone prefers him in midfield, but I worry he's a bit lightweight there.

The lack of hunger in a young man with such an opportunity is very disappointing.

Players go in and out of form, especially young ones. Something isn’t right with him though. It’s like tonight, a few times when he asked for the ball in tight spaces, he looked like his old self, turned and took a few players out of the game. He’s just not involved enough, or dare I say it, he’s being held back from doing stuff like that.

And he was poor in all three of them. Has been for weeks.

He’s barely played in weeks. And in fairness City have been shit for weeks..

I’m not absolving Foden of blame, he’s in the team, but fuck me, we’re not playing to his strengths.
We’re starting slowly, we often look lethargic.. Slow tempo games with packed defences don’t suit our players.

Too one paced currently.
 
He was shit, just like the rest o the side but any even faint bit of spark today generally came from him.

He needs to up his game but he's got to start on Saturday on the left, if Pep doesn't play some fucked up lineup he will turn up.
 
Had high hopes for Foden and bought into the hype of a once in a generation player.

Looks anything but an over hyped, average English player right now.

Certainly doesn't dictate games or is the difference in the side to win.

Pep seems to have kicked the creativity out of him and just made a player that passes back.
