The second paragraph is so incredibly patronising:

At the moment Foden, as was the case against Liverpool, 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.

Apart from being wrong. Its disrespectful

Spot on. That really is patronising, I couldn't believe what I was reading. Very, very disrespectful - not only to Foden but to others in the team. I think if you asked the 'adults' in our team, they will say that Foden is having a huge influence on how we play and the intensity at which we play at. The 'adults' love him...that's clear just by the celebration for his goal on Sunday.

I agree he isn't the finished article - and honestly, we should all be worried if he is - but I would also say that for a 20 year old, to have such influence and stature within this team and the level of performance that is demanded, that is far, far harder to achieve than the levels that Grealish, Maddison etc are at within their teams. It is abundantly clear that the 'grown-ups' and the manager trust Foden to be a much bigger player than just applying finishing touches to the other players moves. But then Crooks was one of those who also wanted Foden to go out on loan.......these latest words prove again that he's clueless.

Ruben shouldn’t have put his arm on him but the dive from salad was utterly fucking pathetic, if that had been Sterling or any City player he would be getting dogs abuse from the media. Still not seen any lines for John Stones disallowed goal, yet for other teams disallowed goals we are getting lines from arses to armpits, fucking joke

We know the stories about VAR at Klanfield. There fucking isn't any.

Football 365's Mediawatch have called out Crooks on his nonsense. Nice to see we're not the only people who think he's a clueless bellend.

Not quite sure how Crooks retains his paid position with BBC Sport tbh. Every year he’s back, every time adding zero value or insight at all.

Why is it in football that the old ex players think it's better to go out on load and get kicked to shit in lower leagues ?

In any other industry you want to learn from the best.

Yet football it is seemed as wrong if you are learning from the worlds best manager and some of the worlds best players. So now its Phil is going to be judged harder than Grealish because phil is in a better team . For fuck sake Phil go and sign for WBA than the press/media will love you lol. Well crooks and the press/media really good players play for really good teams ;)
How can that be wrong ? I really dont understand crooks or the press/media views. How many young players have the ex pros and press/media brought through ? None they know jack shit about bring kids through apart from throw them out on load !.

Come on now, everyone knows Messi and Ronaldo wouldn't be the players they are had they not spent those loan spells at kidderminster and altrincham.
