Must be tough for him playing with his back to goal. He put a shift in though love when he tried to out muscle van dijk. I'm backing you raheem he just needs a bit of luck to get going

He wants to run in behind, and the defenders have to deal with that. With Foden or Grealish there, they always want to come short to the ball and Van Dijk and Matip were able to push up at will with zero threat in behind.

Even though we had more control in the first half, we had more of an actual threat when he came on because he creates space with his running

Correct apart from you seem to have fallen for the myth amongst the so called England experts in the summer that Foden can’t run in behind. He can and did yesterday. Sterling was much better yesterday because as you say there was space for him to run in behind and use his pace. The problem for him is the vast majority of teams don’t leave any space when playing us.

What gets me with any player with what they are weak at why don’t they practice at if and clear there mind in a certain situation what you going to do! Like you receive the ball running on to goal be in a one track mind that you going to run through shoot across the goal in the corner and practice that daily!

Foden runs in behind from wide positions, absolutely. He wasn’t offering that run much through the middle though, and Grealish certainly wasn’t

 

[Blu1]

I don’t see how raz gets back into this team. Foden, Grealish & Jesus all ahead of him.

something must be going on in his personal life his drop in form & confidence is ridiculous. Makes no sense

His entry helped us today.

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

Despite all the criticism and him being off-form he is still the best player in our team in making runs. We create more openings with him in the team, even if we waste them.
Once he gets a bit of confidence and form back he'll be playing a lot of minutes simply due to the fact we have no one else who can do what he does.
