No Foden but Mahrez gets in again to saunter round the pitch not giving a fuck , brilliant .

 

[hilts]

I dont have a problem with Mahrez as a player he is good but it means sterling will probably be put on the left or as a false 9, would always prefer-

Foden Torres sterling as opposed to

Torres sterling mahrez or
Sterling Torres mahrez

Still have enough to win if everyone is up for it.

FFS....

Riyad Mahrez has been directly involved in 99 goals in 203 Premier League appearances, scoring 58 and providing 41 assists.

1 goal, 1 assist in 5 games this season. What have you done for me lately?

 

[Gray]

Just shows how thin of the ground we are on out and out strikers, we really only have Sergio as Jesus is a different sort of player. Really think we should have Delap in the squad at the moment

Or better still buy one?

 

[stan bowles]

Disappointed that Foden is on the bench. Might be needed last 25 mins though. I'd have definitely started him

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Think this is a myth. Aguero has been playing since 15.

Unless you're doing a whoosh...look at his injuries, playing so much may well be a factor in those as he gets older.

 

[grim up north]

The state of some of the reactions on here! Haha! Right now it's a juggling act to keep players fit as the games come thick and fast, that means players will be benched in order to optimise their usefulness as the season goes on.
Foden leaves everything on the pitch everytime he plays and I'd imagine that plays a part in how often he starts atm.
People banging on about his age meaning he can play 3 ties a week everyweek are off their heads.

We have so many experts on here as to the physical condition of the players they cannot play every game it’s madness

 

[Gray]

But what has he done to warrant the start? And what more does Foden have to do?

Might be all irrelevant if we get a national shutdown which includes sport.

 

[Shirley]

Maybe Pep is planning on subbing Kev with Phil during the game.

 

[journolud]

Would have had Foden for Mahrez but I can imagine Phil's not at 100% after the shift he put in Tuesday.

Good team otherwise.

Fair point, games coming thick and fast, Phil will get plenty of games and is a great option off the bench today

Foden should be starting over Mahrez every single week. Fuckin perplexed as to why he isn’t

Try and think, or just see above where someone has done the thinking for you and everyone else similarly perplexed
