The bias towards players born in the Manchester area from the Youth academy. absolutely blinkered about their quality and frothing at the mouth demanding playing time.
compare it with how we talk about the likes of Eric Garcia, Brahim Diaz, Angelino etc.
most of them - Palmer, Mcatee, Harwood Bellis, Tosin for example put in ok performances but to me they are clearly never good enough when they are trotting out v Scunny in the tinpot cup.
i suspect we’re going through the same with Lewis at the moment and he’ll eventually fall away.
It takes an unbelievable amount of talent, genetics and hard work to be able to make it at the best football team in the world ever (maybe). that we have one (Foden) who has managed it is remarkable. every young player in world football wants to make it to the premier league and a club like city.
