The last time we produced a player with such talent was when Stan Bowles appeared on the scene. A magical player with a flawed off-field personality. I hope Phil doesn’t go the same way.I don't agree with that. There has been, over the years, many local lads like Derek Jefferies, Tony Towers, to name two,who were given a rough ride despite being local lads. Foden is loved by the City's fanbase because he's an excellent player.
I don't think he 'gets a very easy ride because he's a local lad', I think it's that he's got absolutely loads of credit in the bank with blues because he's the most successful academy product City have ever produced and has delivered on the pitch time and time again. And we know he will once more, so we're just being patient with him. It's not him getting an easy ride, this is just where supporters show their gratitude towards players who've changed the destiny of this club - and Phil gets shown more gratitude because he's one of us.He gets a very easy ride because he is a local lad,
I disagree. I liked him. Not interested in the off field stuff where it was said he hated football etc...Nicky Summerbee was a cnut, end of story.
He just doesn’t play good for the national team. No one is the absolute vocal point of the team. Too many superstars yet some and the other try something. Foden just never scores or assists for the national team and those Bellingham’s and Taa ain’t exactly the reason especially when the second barely played anyways and was behind Walker in the RB standings the whole time. Foden gets away with too much in my opinion.Phil started slowly last season, but came into his own during the winter. Give him a break, he will come good again. The England team set-up doesn’t take advantage of his skills, Bellingham and TAA never pass to him yet despite all that, he could easily have been England’s top scorer in the Euros, with a bit of the rub of the green
Phil would have to develop a whole new personality from what has now to be anything like Stan was.The last time we produced a player with such talent was when Stan Bowles appeared on the scene. A magical player with a flawed off-field personality. I hope Phil doesn’t go the same way.
He will get back to them levels because he's a great footballer.Foden is way ahead than Jefferies or Towers ever were.
Ranson and Edgehill the abuse those two got was shocking and a disgrace to our fans that did it.
Foden this season has been poor, without KDB and Rodri he needed to stay at last years levels but he is way off, yet you here very little saying so.
He needs to get that level back, he should be one of our teams leaders on and off the field now.
I thought he played brilliantly against Newcastle at home last season and that was only the second game of the season.Phil started slowly last season, but came into his own during the winter. Give him a break, he will come good again. The England team set-up doesn’t take advantage of his skills, Bellingham and TAA never pass to him yet despite all that, he could easily have been England’s top scorer in the Euros, with a bit of the rub of the green
