Playing at international level (plus injuries) did nothing for Wilshere and lots of other young players. Playing for a manager like Southgate will do nothing to help Foden develop either. Phil looked shattered at the end of the season. He needs a rest instead of becoming a hate figure for the toxic English media which I fear is going to be what happens over the summer. In fact it has started already.I watched that shite Soccer Aid game last night and spotted Wilshere. I told my ERO that when Jack was 18yrs old he was absolutely fantastic. From about eighteen and a half he fucked it all up and never reached the level he should have. Foden is the opposite. He's got better and better, and he's still hungry to make the improvements to become one of the best the PL has seen.
So the uk sports media are bang at it again...with englands defeat against iceland they led with an image of Saka who only played for a fraction of the game....
Its the Raheem Sterling treatment again
And yet some (outside of city especially) cant see that our owners are being portrayed the same way - as all bad and the enemy
I cannot believe that they (sports tabloids) can do it and not be held accountable - its basically inciting racist treatmentRacism is alive and kicking in this country.
About to talk about this on talksport, ‘are black English players being made a scapegoat by the media’.I cannot believe that they (sports tabloids) can do it and not be held accountable - its basically inciting racist treatment
They either need taking to court or a strong government to just shut the fuckers down
Pretty sure Phil scored two goals in the final match of the season to seal us the title, one of them within 2 minutes of the match starting. Not sure how that performance makes him look 'shattered' to you, unless you were using hyperbole.Playing at international level (plus injuries) did nothing for Wilshere and lots of other young players.

My reference to Phil was about the Cup Final where he looked dead on his feet. He has played a lot of football. I am not saying he should quit international football but flagging up concern that he is set to become England's latest scapegoat with the media and the southern-based happy clappy England fans who hate City.Pretty sure Phil scored two goals in the final match of the season to seal us the title, one of them within 2 minutes of the match starting.

If Phil doesn't want to play at the International level he can always go the Ben White route. Up to him, but clearly the lad wants to play for England as of right now.
