Nowhere to be seen again. He'll turn up when it's going well, hides too often when it's not.
He has the talent to do it but he hasn't got the bollocks to grab a game by the throat and dominate it. It's purely a mentality problem and one he shouldnt still have at 24 and approaching 300 appearances.
last season we thought he was on the cusp of finally doing it, we've been waiting for that to happen for 7 years now, and expected this season to really see it yet hes regressed. He's not 17 anymore, time to fucking turn up when the team needs it.
That's what the world class do on a regular basis. That is what kdb has done for a decade, he's still out there like the talented kid invited to play with the big boys who is playing within himself and is too afraid to show what he can really do.

In the first 20 minutes I thought he did.Didn't control anything. Lost the ball several times and gave them opportunities for counters. Nunes or Doku would have been slaughtered for that performance.
Should be getting on the ball and forcing things through. Like Kev did in the 10 minutes he was on.
Foden should be THE MAIN MAN in situations like today and not just another of the attackers on the pitch.
Forgot he was on at one point.

Love Phil but he went missing. God we need the goals of last year.
Sidenote, I was told that Foden is the most physical of our midfielders (outside of Rodri) and it remains one of the funniest things I've heard. We have a low bar for midfield physicality but Phil aint it

Was losing the ball already before the 1st and 2nd goal.

Needs a few weeks watching from the bench , he’s still got all the skills and touches but he’s lost the fire and drive he had last season
Maddison shown him how to play in a central role, what a shame City never went for him.
Shame at 28 he has done next to nought apart from occasionally performance like today and against Ipswich was a bag of shite when the pressure is on and expectations are high! A total shithouse player
An odd good game or two and yet he doesn’t always get in spurs first eleven. Please don’t make him out to be Messi unlike Neville was trying to.Maddison shown him how to play in a central role, what a shame City never went for him.
