[bobom]

Congratulations, young man! First game of very many, I hope!

Well done Phil Foden.

Onwards and upwards.

He looks a natural , always hungry for the ball and wasnt overawed , and as Pep has saId , its up to him , the future is in his hands ive never felt so excited about a local youth/academy player since Paul Lake.

Nice to see such a young player get a chance in a squad like this and on this level. Must be an exciting prospect for England fans too.

Such a shame he didn't start. Buzzing that he made his debut but I cant see where he's going to get minutes.

Shakhtar away maybe. Leicester in the League Cup?

Can't see Pep tossing him in a League Cup Quarter Final against what will be a full strength Leicester side.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

would love him and Brahim to come through together.

Ooh matron ;-)

Thought Phil was very assured. A quality prospect, hope he makes the right choices.

Foden should take Yaya's position on the bench , Gundogan is the obvious replacement for Toure's position , last time i checked we were allowed seven substitutes and Foden should be amongst them not Yaya , (unless there is a possibility of a penalty shoot out , then Yaya gets my vote:)

I couldn’t agree more.

We as a club, us as fans and the people closest to him have to do what is best for Phil Foden. It’s all about building his confidence, protecting him and most importantly keeping him grounded because we saw with Michael Johnson what too much pressure too quickly can do.

He’s clearly got the talent to play right now, he’ll also be learning off Pep, Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan and Bernardo so he’s got everything there to keep improving himself. If he turns out to be 10% of what David Silva has been and still is for us we’ll have an absolute superstar on our hands but we’ve just got to let him enjoy his football first and foremost.
