He's my favorite player, and I've defended him this season as I believe he's had some strong performances that haven't given him the G/A that he deserves, but I can't defend his lack of effort today. There was a ball from Gundo around the 60th minute that wasn't great, but he didn't even attempt to keep it in play. He should have been pulled right then and there.
 
So boring.

Where is the attacking flair? Dribbling? Vision?

Its like he decided to be a tidy midfielder now and lost all his dynamism.

I honestly think most of it has been coached out of him. Pep’s obsession over the years with Foden slowing the game down has eventually led to this - a player who just gets the ball and plays it to his nearest teammate. It’s why so he’s poor for England too.
 
What the fuck is going on? All he does is lay the ball off to whoever passes it to him.

What happened to the dribbling, turning with the ball, committing opposition players? He doesn't have the excuse of being 34 and not being able to run like Gundogan so what the hell is going on.

However it happened... its just sad to watch.

He is not willing to risk enough.
 
I’d love to know what’s going on with Phil. Someone on here said he wasn’t injured or ill when the club said he was ill. Don’t know if the guy was an ITK but the implication was that there is something amiss behind the scenes.
 
Needs to be sub for a while let him sort himself out. Looks like he’s lost his hunger for the game. Sad to see
 
He is due a quiet season just shit timing that with the injuries it happening at the worst possible time. Could do with showing a little spark.

Mate he scored 27 goals just last season, you think Pep completely coached it out of him in the summer ? get real, if you said his poor Euros has fucked up his confidence then maybe you have point, but I'm pretty sure Pep didn't tell him to stop scoring goals.
