How is Foden ever going to learn if he's playing in games with little or no jeopardy to them?

If he isn't starting tonight when KDB and Gundo are both out then when will he?

I really thought tonight would be the night. Maybe Pep just isn't convinced by him?

Yeah its disappointing mate, was looking forward to watching Phil

So what we will only play him when it's safe to do so? Only when we are 3 or more goals up, only for a few minutes at the end of the game. Pep keeps saying he is in the first team on merit yet everything he does shows he doesn't trust him. I agree that he is not going to improve playing against a tired team who are already beaten. He needs to be playing with real stakes, against a team who are still in the game.

And he will and has (cup games being a recent example).

It will happen, tonight may just not have been the best time for it. For all we know, Phil starts at home against Bournemouth, especially given this lineup.

He’s only 18. He’s now progressing to being a full squad member. Right decision

Im with you on that he will only show his worth when playing games with something in them, but for me, not a CL qualifier.
He could start in dom cup games or league games to show his talents.

He is no better than or as experienced at the CL than our senior players,pep knows what he is doing,if he makes a mistake and cost us the game that will not help him or us
 
Pep knows best. Can't question any of his decisions that's why we are such the team we are now.
