Phil Foden - 2018/19 Performances

[Tricky_Trev]

Me too. But I also disagree with the suggestion that he should be in the England setup. It's clearly too soon for him when he isn't getting regular game time here.

It is and it isn’t. Fair enough, he can’t get a game ahead of KDB, Silva, Bernardo, Gundogan, Fernandinho etc, but how many of them are in the England set-up? He’s competing with a lot of dross - Dier, Henderson, Lingard. In some ways he should be closer to starting for England than City.

When he plays for us he immediately looks up to the standard of the players he's replacing, which means he'd be head and shoulders above anyone in Englands midfield.

Yep.

If he can’t get minutes when we’re 3-0 up at home to Fulham, when does he get minutes?

 

[handsofstone]

Very disappointing

Yes our team is INSANE but Foden is so talented and he just isn't gonna get any game time

We have already lost Sancho who is proving at Dortmund that he is gonna be a top top player, looking likely that we will be losing Diaz and now Foden can barely get a run out despite showing against Chelsea he's already capable

 

[pudge]

One of the very few times I'd have to say it was probably poor not to bring him on.

At the very least he'd have given a fuck for the last 20 mins.

When Pep says he does.

 

[Phil1]

Gundogen was a pretty uninspiring sub at that stage of the game.
Not normally one to bang the drum when it comes to putting younger players in for the sake of it but Foden should have been given minutes today,

In dead rubbers and early cup matches
