Phil Foden - 2017/18 performances

[blinkblue]

I think he needs minutes in one or two of the games against Leicester or the last CL games. Play him with a strong side and watch him go.

Yep, get him in those final group games in the cl. In fact i would be shocked if Pep did not play him in them for decent periods probably as a starter to. Logically it makes little sense not to use him. He likes to bring through a gem or two and has earned that breathing space that enables a young talent to taste the very top with little pressure. He would be "missing a trick" and Pep does not miss those.

Should start vs Feyenoord, and if top spot is secured by Shakhtar then he should start there as well. Also should definitely be involved vs Leicester (although I worry he may not shine is a mish-mash of a team). Maybe even a spot on the bench for Arsenal?

Vs Feyenoord:
Ederson
Danilo Stones Otamendi Delph
Gündogan
De Bruyne Foden
Bernardo Jesus Sané

Bravo, Walker, Mangala, Fernandinho, Silva, Brahim, Sterling/Agüero

Phil Foden should have started this season in our midfield,never mind being introuduced mid-season v Leicester.

So who would you drop to put him in or would you play a 17 year old kid out of position?

I honestly dont think we needed to sign The 2nd Silva.Fantastic high calibre player as he is,Phil Foden should have been in his boots from day one this season.it would have meant ,by the end of the season, England would have had a Pass-Master to take to the world cup.
Back to City,,there are just so many reasons why this homegrown product should have been pushed thru ,into our squad,at the dawn of our season
The importance of the youth world cup thing ,whatever it was,imo,..negible..as regards the players development,as he would have had full england matches,champions league and premier league to contend with.
Was the signing of the 2nd Silva simply gluttony on our behalf .or did we under value Foden....?
Lets discuss this.

@dennishasdoneit going a bit far....

He is 17

To even mention him with David Silva is a joke!

He will get a chance and will be great, in Pep we trust. MCFC

There's no way he's physically ready to play regularly in the Prem at the moment.

Needs to fill his body out a bit, work on strength & agility before he starts playing with the big boys.
