47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

Rubbish, he just gave up and started jogging

Rubbish, he tracked him down until he saw he was covered by his defenders.

 

[Craig]

He definitely gave

Rubbish, he tracked him down until he saw he was covered by his defenders.

He definitely gave up and got a deserved bollocking from Walker.

Why did Walker bollock him then ?

You're not Pep. Nobody is going to come knocking on your door when we need to replace him. You're a fan.

But if that's how you want to engage with your team then fill your boots.

Stop being a baby...

Why did Walker bollock him then ?

Maybe he was unaware of Fodens discomfort from an earlier knock and thought he’d just given up the chase.
There’s definitely context to this passage of play when you watch it developing earlier on. There’s no doubts that Foden did get a knock on his ankle and was in a bit of discomfort.
It doesn’t look good when watching it only from the point Foden looks like he’s given up the chase but in this case I think it’s a bit harsh as I genuinely think the earlier knock played a part.

Thought he played well overall bar his big chance that was disappointing.

Why has Foden been playing moody in the last two games? Keeps moaning at everyone and has a face like a slapped arse at times.

Bought into his own hype?

Frustrated at his opportunities?

Greggs ran out of steak bakes?

Broke his favourite fishing rod?

His cat had a seizure?

I feel like if we're going to make up a narrative then we owe it to ourselves to at least be creative.

He’s had more opportunities of late so I’d imagine he’s maybe frustrated about something other than that. Only noticed it against West Ham and Red Star. Maybe he’s just had a bad week!

EDIT- just remembered he’d spent a week with that moaning Brummie, Bellingham, who spent the previous two seasons at Dortmund moaning at his teammates all the time. I hope this hasn’t rubbed off on Foden!
