#47 | Phil Foden - 2019/20 Performances

Needs to be given a chance now by starting games. He seems to be everything our midfield seems to be lacking at the moment

I’m not usual one to clamour for the youth to start but we have a ‘legs’ conundrum in midfield and his youth and movement might be just what we need. He changed the rhythm of the game today and it seems whatever three we play we are easily outrun on the counter. He should be starting more games now, not for his career but because he might be the answer.

Three weeks ago and still stands. We need to get him in he team because whatever three we choose without him don't have the legs.

It was like someone had put 50p in the meter when he came on.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Start him. That is all. It’s not just that he is ready. It’s that he is better than the alternatives.

I agree with the Foden/Silva point although starting at Newcastle maybe a big ask. I’d drop Aguero but I don’t think Jesus is good enough so we have to stick with him

Play Jesus in the CL and if Aguero doesn’t get at least 2 V Newcastle and United then maybe it’s time to persevere with Jesus

I don’t think Aguero is going to be available for a little while, so Jesus will be starting for the foreseeable future. And Pep may want to protect David after today, so I could see Foden starting against Newcastle.

Needs to be starting. He made the difference

 

[super_city_si]

He’ll play v Shakhtar. Him or Bernardo need it be first choice now with Silva used sparingly

 

[Blue Hefner]

I don’t think Aguero is going to be available for a little while, so Jesus will be starting for the foreseeable future. And Pep may want to protect David after today, so I could see Foden starting against Newcastle.

Is it a bad injury? I’ve not seen any reports

 

[SebastianBlue]

Is it a bad injury? I’ve not seen any reports

Pep said it was a “muscular” injury and was “not good.”

He needs to be given more of Merl's minutes, plain and simple. There is no excuse for it anymore, especially given Merl's decline.
