"The Quiet Engine"...

Have you been in a coma? I could understand why someone would write this back in 2017/18 when he was first emerging. But the lads played 325 games and scored more than 100 goals for us. He was the critical player when we won 4 in a row, with quite a few highlights. 27 goals in 53 games in case you missed them.

I've included a few awards below if you're still unsure.

Yeah, I don't think you understand my point.

That's fine.

I know his awards, thanks.

I also said TO ME, he was overshadowed by better on the pitch and I already said this allowed me to overlook what he did. Not sure what else you want me to say?

If he played for utd and lfc he would be the best in the country. Sometimes players need the media to recognise their extreme talent. Phil will not get that level of recognition, only when they leave City do the headlines revel in their quality. True story.

If he played for either of the scummy red-clad twats he'd have been played in his preferred position at the World Cup after being the stand out player in the Premier League in the previous season, NOT playing second fiddle to some lazy-arsed show pony.

Players don't get many World Cups that they have a genuinely chance to shine at, three maximum (IMO). Foden had his first opportunity taken from him by the English media with their bullshit anti-city rhetoric.

Another true story.

Man... I don't think a video has changed my mind before, but I have to say (even as I type in disbelief at what I'm writing), I think I've been giving Foden a hard time. Maybe cos I what to see more visceral impact now that De Bruyne's gone? I don't know.

But it's took a Yank/ Canadian to reframe my perspective.

Not quite sure if this is a 'player performance' more than a profile, so wherever it's supposed to go...

Seen his highlights before. However, I probably have the same views you have. I want to see him lead the team and be great, but him being the lead man not one of the supporting cast. Last season he was pump so this season would be good to see him back to his best and leading the team to a trophy.
