David Silva is not a captain ..or at the vety least should not be our captain.no idea why Pep left it to the players to decide who should be given the arm band and...i never agree with players deciding when they will leave a club..its a nonsense,,,the funeral procession until his last game is not,imo,conducive towards a ruthless non-sentimental,team selection policy....ive said before ... when Liverpool dominated our league throughout the 70s/80s the boot room approach did not allow for players resting on their laurels,however popular they were..they were replaced as soon as their performances demanded,and before any noticeable drop in quality..such a fall in quality should be picked up upon by management way before the average fan notices it.
Perhaps i,m wrong...and over-reacting to our first defeat since January,but tigerish,energetic but creative goal scoring midfielders goal scoring midfielders are what we are lacking at present...and that is something Foden can contribute,esp when you consider the lad scored almost as many goals as Silva last season.Its long over due for difficult decisions to be made..or,imo we will be losing two,not one brilliant midfielders this season.
The emergence of a goal scoring 16 yr old at Barcelona this season perhaps suggests that age should never be a bar to 1st team selection and is contrary to the often quoted view on these boards that Foden is too young to hold down a regular posistion in our side. If your good enough..your old enough..and ..if your 33 years of age you cannot expect to be playing every week in our midfield,in the premiership.
