Foden will be our outstanding player the next decade.
He is unbelievable.

That’s if he doesn’t get kicked to bits, as Hinchcliffe says he needs to expect, and seems to have no problem with.

Are you watching Mansour, Khaldoon, Soriano?


Pep and the 11 players in blue are our real heroes.

But without Mansour, Khaldoon and Soriano you don't have Pep and these 11 players.

Transfermarket attaches a £63M price tag to Phil. Yet Grealish is often quoted at £100M and Sir Rasher £120+. I do now believe that Foden is the most valuable player in our squad. Quite magnificent tonight and he’s one of ours. Add a 1 before the £63 and it looks about right.

Anyone else thinks the Ref had a bizarre game?

I got the feeling he lacked self confidence. He was hesitant about most decisions.

Is it a bad thing that I watched the entire 2nd half with both eyes closed?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I thought he was a fabulously wise head and managed that game brilliantly.
Great team performance all around, but Gundo was dictating the game management.

That's what I was getting at. You're just far more eloquent than I am :)

You're a Parker Pen, I am a sledgehammer with some paint on the end.

What more is there to say about Phil Foden. Best player in the league at the moment and could be up there with Mpabbe as possibly best prospect in world football.

Such a professional performance from the boys tonight. Didn't think it was a red card for Stones but doesn't really matter now.

Up the blues.

He already is on performances like this for me and the frightening thing is he’ll only get better..

Am I in some parall universe which game were some watching

There's a batch of bad drugs going about by the sounds of it.

Couldnt agree more. I feel like Gundogan is the real grown up in the team

To start with negatives, I didn't like out right side, Mahrez was ok, bud subdued, when you want him to be selfish and to try one on one, he start passing balls through. Walker had a poor game for me and I blame him for the first goal, leaving Stones defending the places size of Luxembourg. Attacking wise, he ran behind on three through balls at least and literally nothing came out of those.
Many positives, least of all coming from behind, our first half passing was crazy and Phil was even crazier. It's really scary how good he is, I just want Pep to let him play centrally and run against defender. Gundogan...well, he is like Merlin 2.0, and left side with Oleks worked like a clockwork. And the second half, those following City and particularly those who appreciate Guardiola's paradigm of football, must have enjoyed it; for the rest it must have be a bore-fest. CTID.
