Think most acknowledge the talent. Watched the match again and Shearer didn’t stop raving about him. Chuckle and Carragher have said in the past England should be built around him.

He’s 23 though and has certainly stagnated for 18 months. Yes the England manager is a negative clown but Bellingham has emerged and has really shone. The talent has never been in question with Phil it’s up to him to show it regularly. His problem is KDB is back soon and even with him out Pep chose to play Alvarez in Foden’s best position. He’ll be back out wide for City soon and we only tend to see glimpses of his brilliance when out wide.

Stagnated for 18 months - to be fair he was injured for a large part of last season.

Has he really, though...?

He was playing great last season and had a bad foot injury. He came back, was playing great again, and then had to have his appendix removed. He's had some poor games this season, but who doesn't? He's still had FAR more good games than poor ones. He's been our best player this season, in my eyes.
 
KDB will be 34/35 when his contract ends and by that time Phil will be approaching the prime of his career and hopefully it will be a seemless replacement and Phil will be the main creator in the team and possibly under a new manager , the club and team will evolve
Our recent main creators Merlin, KDB and then Foden not a bad progression and all developed by the club , none of them were superstar signings.

To be honest i’m his biggest fan. I just expect a lot from him because ability wise very few can touch him. That performance the other night and the Newcastle home game showed the level he can reach.

Bellingham (17 yrs) gets all the media. Foden plays for city. That's it in a nutshell for me.

Not sure he's stagnated whilst being a crucial part of winning a treble and wcc. He's done some amazing things already this season, he's been on form for the whole lot of it, i think. It never gets talked about by the media though.

I think he'll be crucial to our season and have done so since the start, so I might be a bit biased!
 
Really growing in to that role. Affecting games more and more now. Starting to look like the player we know he is.

interesting to see what happens when kevs back
