Foden has played a smaller role in the team this season than Laporte, who has spent 6 months injured, Angelino, the 3rd choice LB who was only here half a season, and Bravo, the back up goalkeeper.

Look at the standard of players ahead of him,comparing to a rag is stupid

 

[Phil1]

Doesn’t look great on paper but surely you have to add a bit of context.
That LB would have zero minutes here whilst Foden would likely be a starter at utd.
Means fuck all in the scheme of things.

Just to widen this out a bit. Percent of league minutes since Pep told everyone that Foden was a normal member of the first team squad in preseason 2017.

Ederson 93.7
Raheem Sterling 80.3
Kyle Walker 79.1
Fernandinho 77.9
Kevin De Bruyne 66.4
David Silva 66.2
Bernardo Silva 62.1
Sergio Agüero 61.8

Benjamin Mendy 24.0

Eliaquim Mangala 5.4
Angeliño 4.6
Eric García 3.0
Yaya Touré 2.6
Brahim Díaz 0.6

Scott Carson 0.0

Foden has played only slightly more than Bravo since 2017. Bravo's only games in 3 years were half of the Liverpool 5-0 when Eddie got kicked in the face, 1 game at the end of the Centurions season when IIRC Ederson's wife gave birth, and 3 games Ederson missed because he was ill or suspended this season.

I'm so tired of this argument. Setting KDB aside, Phil's competition for a place includes an obviously declining 34 year old David Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, who while a very good player, is someone who just about everyone would prefer to see less of at the eight, and in a stretch, Bernardo, who is having a poor season by his standards and for the last two years has primarily played the wing anyway. This isn't some impenetrable murderers row here, there's been plenty of space for him to get more minutes. Oh yeah, and we're 25 points back of the leaders at the moment, so this argument is completely irrelevant. We're barely even playing for anything right now.

So 19 year old Foden has played significantly more senior football than 19 year old Williams.

Great story.

There are still 2 domestic cups to win,it's important to keep winning whatever it is
Agree on gundy but he was peps first sighing and has just been given a new deal,no amount of us moaning is going to get him dropped,he is to pep what mario was to bobby

Yes it is important to keep winning, but we’ve hardly been consistent at that to justify it as an argument.

Dortmund bringing on Claudio Reyna's 17 year old son at 0-0 vs PSG. Whilst Phil is out here hoping we go 3-0 up vs Westham so he can get 10mins.

He actually looks a decent prospect so with our problems at left back this season he might have played a fair bit. Take your point though it’s not really a good comparison as Phil would be playing every week in that showers midfield.
