Agreed. He's never been at his best for England and it's up to him to work that out.Not here for flak, but I don't think Phil has played well for england at all really. Yes the system is inferior, but I feel like he's standing around waiting for England to play like City which is never gonna happen unless Pep becomes england manager. Maybe there's the odd game he's done well but he's nearing 50 caps and he's pretty much looked lost and ineffective in 3 quarters of those games maybe more. He won't get much longer to improve with palmer performing at the level he is and I'm not even sure that he should tbh.

His performances for us will keep earning him call-ups and he'll keep being given opportunities to shine. He deserves recognition at international level but to get that he needs to work out how to play effectively with those players in that system.
Agreed without Kev we struggle to create. Foden needs some games to get his mojo back, but will offer some craft and creativity.I have no idea how Pep can look at our midfield and think Phil should be on the bench.
Bernie and Gundo have been woeful. Even if Foden is struggling for fitness, he has to be a better bet than either of those two at the min.Agreed without Kev we struggle to create. Foden needs some games to get his mojo back, but will offer some craft and creativity.
