Jaded after how many games? Just had 2 weeks off from international duty, it was another anonymous display today from Phil? Really want him to get close to last season but seems half hearted at times. His closing down has dropped off as has a few others.Phil made a few decent runs and passes in the first 15 minutes and then faded, he's a bit jaded but he'll come good again I am sure of that.
Phil is mainly a second striker not a creator.True. Foden doesn’t dictate many games. He was brilliant last season scoring worldies but he’s not kicked on in his career overall as we all thought he would. Especially when it comes to dictating games.
23 goals last season suggests different and he does average 10+ when in form.Flip it does Phil produce what Maddison does to city today hmmm
Did you watch Foden versus Sporting and Bournemouth?Jaded after how many games? Just had 2 weeks off from international duty, it was another anonymous display today from Phil?

Phil isn’t the only one but as fans we have seen how good he can be. Head up Phil and get a grip of whatever it is.

In terms of now? That wasn’t the player he always promised to be when you watched him come through the ranks. The biggest thing he’s lost is his burst of pace. Just doesn’t get away from people after a brilliant turn like he used toPhil is mainly a second striker not a creator.
Yes that's my conclusion from watching him over the last few years, he doesn't create enough for a 10 but can score goals which unfortunately he hasn't been doing this season, and if he's lost his burst of pace at 24 that's worrying.In terms of now?

Completely agree the lack of width in that line up today was a huge problemLet’s face it. He is playing poorly in a poor team. He cannot win games on his own and as as long as Guardiol and Walker are our attempt at attacking from wide we will struggle. Bernie and Gundo are zero support just now. Many of these players are legends but if we are honest, this is the worst team we have seen since Pep’s first season. They do not look like they can execute his game plan. The answer is not to change it. The answer is to get players that can.
