After he finished his warm up rather than returning to the bench he went back down the tunnel. Not sure he reappeared though.
 
I think if we went up 3-1 Pep would have brought him on. I doubt he will start against Inter or Arsenal but maybe he will have a couple of cameos. Hopefully he's back to his best soon! We will definitely need him at his best as the season is really kicking on now.

I thought I saw him warming up out of play while the game was going on?
 
His first game back, so he has a bit of leeway, but he has to put that one chance away. For as one-footed as Mahrez was, he also had a highly serviceable right foot. He rushed a couple of other decent opportunities, as well.
 
similar to the CL final..subbed in, played well but missed a big chance
 
First game back, but looked to get on the ball and dictate where he could. Should of done better with his chance but as Soon as he's match fit he'll be important for us.
 
After last season, my expectations for Phil are sky high. In that context, I felt he could've taken a bit more ownership of creating something when he came on. I don't think he was bad, by any means, but he's the reigning Player of the Season and scored a hatful from outside the box last term, so I just kept hoping he'd step up with a big moment

Hopefully still finding his form and fitness and back to his best soon

To be fair he hasn’t played pretty much all season. He’ll find the form when he starts regularly again.
 
I'm calling this here..

With Rodri out for the season.. Pep will make Foden into a 6/8/10 hybrid.

He's commented about moving him there before but the injury maybe forces his hand. He's done it before.. going back to the CB's to get the ball and progressing it forward.

He certainly has the capability and understands what we need and he's not a small guy who can be bullied around.

This will be Foden's season as a deep lying playmaker.

Neither Foden nor Stones are the answer. Kova, Gundo, Bernie and Lewis (together with another player). Pep played Bernie as a 6 at Arsenal last season and we were a bit unlucky to lose.

Bernardo absolutely has the ability just doesn't have the presence sometimes required in there
