He’s not just a local lad is he. He’s one of the most gifted players that has ever come through an Academy, his natural position during the academy was attacking midfielder so when he goes to the first team we already have silva and Kdb so there wasn’t a chance for him to get in.
He’s earned his spot as much as anyone he been put in cf for a season where he’s getting hardly any touches of the ball and LW where he also doesn’t get enough of the ball, plus he hasn’t had a actual left back to make it easier for him on the wing.
A natural midfielder thrives off having the ball at their feet most of the game and he hasn’t been getting that these past seasons. We are a team begging for creativity from midfield and that is what Foden possesses. So how you can honestly say he hasn’t earned a spot in midfield baffles me.
I understand his body language isn’t the best at the moment I’m never going to doubt him trying his best when he’s got a city shirt on.
