For a start, Phil is not surrounded by "more gifted players" at City; he’s the most gifted of the lot. That’s according to Pep himself.What an absolute ****...
I have selected Phil Foden in my team of the week but I must confess I do not see him being ahead of Jack Grealish, James Maddison or Mason Mount. He is undoubtedly talented but at Manchester City, he is surrounded by better, more gifted players. How can he not flourish - he's already gifted.
At the moment Foden, puts the finishing touches to fine team performances, leaving the grown-ups such as Gundogan and Sterling and De Bruyne - when fit - to break the bow of the opposition. He's young and has time but he's not ready to take over from the adults just yet.
What the others are, is more experienced and more rounded.
And as others have said, how can he not be better than the three he listed? There is greater competition for a place in the starting XI at City than there is at Leicester, Villa and Chelsea. He has to work harder to earn his spot in the team.
Crooks is a fool!
