If not in this game, where KDB and Bernardo are injured, is Phil Foden going to get a start?
Easing him in, when the whole midfield is fully fit is fine, but they are not, for me he should start tomorrow. I know "some might say" his epl debut should be at home. Looks ready to me - but only pep can say. Just my opinion that he would add more in a starting 11 than Ilkay, who is more of an impact player (last 15-30, and still essential to our team).
 
FFS Gundog was the cream of Manchester, one inter national break he's boring. Haters always hate, hey ho.

Not really a Gundogan hater, he's a good player. But I've never liked him filling in for the two attacking mid positions. Against the deep blocks he doesn't move into positions to receive it quickly enough and loves a backpass. He doesn't twist and turn to wrong foot players closing him down and shift the point of attack like Silva/Bernardo/even Foden do and he doesn't have the creative quality and variety in through passes and crosses of De Bruyne/Mahrez. His strengths are what he showed in the derby, when the game is in front of him and he has space to utilise he is very clever.

Maybe boring was the wrong word, I think Guardiola will see him as the "safe" choice but I'd like to see Mahrez given a chance in that role.
