47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

[Colin Bells Boots]

How about ditching the TAA experiement and play Foden in his natural position and if he still doesn't perform then drop him then?

Far too radical .

I'm honestly losing interest in supporting England in this Euros because of the Foden debate.

Southgate is the FA's little woman boy. Weak minded, subservient tosser. Lets Bellingham do anything he wants because of his employers say so.

Then the pundits get on Foden back... and you've got that witless, boring thick **** Ferdinand with his vague, bullshit punditry. "Jude man, he like sticks his chest up right and says, 'I'm avin this game man' ya know he's like the man innit" - Absolute twat.

Would love to see someone like Bielsa manage England. At the very least it would entertaining! There's no controlling that man. No way would he act like the FA's woman.

Foden is being made the scapegoat. Fuck that, he's our boy.

Still believe Guardiola mishandled his development positionally, not so much in terms of game time. ‪Played him in a different role every season, whether it be LW, F9, RW, or 10. Comes out publicly on multiple occasions out to say he lacks certain traits to play in midfield, but then never actually played him there to “learn” those traits.. this year was the first and even then it was infrequent. Foden's got by on sheer talent alone ‬but he’s not specialised in any particular role.

Saka plays RW week in, week out. Bellingham B2B week in, week out. Don’t think either of them are better than Phil but both impact England games 10x more than Foden does because they’re just a lot more comfortable in their roles. Phil doesn’t look confident playing for England and seems to play within himself, it’s like he’s playing not to lose the ball when he should play more like Bellingham who plays with all the arrogance in the world.

What authority/experience are you calling on for this one then? Problem with idiots like you, is that you think it's so fucking simple and that the world is a less enlightened place because your genius insight has so far gone unnoticed.

Bet you weren't coming out with this shite when Foden slammed in the goals against West Ham, Utd and Real. Prick.

TAA is much worse defensively than Bellingham would be at that position. He’d get even more of the ball, and Phil could play in his natural position with Gordon and Saka keeping the width.

I feel like I lose brain cells every time I listen to that thick twat say something.

I'm only a 13 minutes into this analysis, but it's pretty good.



Highlights multiple times in the first 30 minutes where Foden makes the pass and run and doesn't get the return. One time where he does and miscontrols it, to be fair too. But also one time where he's seeing the obvious pass for TAA or Rice and it doesn't come.

Great analysis. Raised some very good points and identified where we failed.

If I was Phil I'd tell Southgate to get fucked and fuck off home.
Fuck it

Sometimes I think Ben White was right. Just fucked him right off.

I read the first few, complained to the BBC about one, which they removed, but it was just a hateful pile on.
