Hopefully this brings the arrogant little twat back down to earth again
Phil Foden - What Is His Potential?
- Thread starter Davs
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Same is being said about everyone else on the pitch, especially Kane too. Underperforming, can’t handle the big stage etc etc.
Perhaps, just perhaps, this is a manager thing.
Just a thought.
The hype train can't even make comms recognize when he had a shocker. Alan Smith surprised he came off 
Hes been woeful in both games and he let him off by saying it was the easy choice because he's young but "did well". Was tumescent.

He did nothing, but the problem is that he's not even close to Sancho's, Rashfords or Grealish's current level. It's like picking Parker ahead of Carrick in midfield levels of bad decisions.
He had no moments.
Not a great game but he's clearly very talented and has had some nice touches.
Not helped by playing so far up. He should be in the mix of it in midfield. Philips instead of Rice and Foden/Mount in a three.
Grealish or Rashford in the front three.

He really did.
The manager makes you overrun the ball, run down blind alleys and make wrong decisions? Okay then.
Sancho and Rashford on the wings, Grealish and Mount in the midfield 3 should be it. Sancho and Grealish are among the most creative players in world football. Yet are on the bench.
I think he’s an amazing talent but it will be interesting to see how he develops. It took Pep long enough to integrate him but even now the fact is he plays for an ultra dominant club side and decorates games rather then being at the heart of things, which with his talent you’d hope for him to be.
Which moments then?
Yeah he's quite small and still young. He's a late bloomer for sure IMO. Obvious talent but Southgate isn't helping him playing him in an unfamiliar role in which there are multiple far better and more proven players available. That's the biggest issue. Leave him to be an impact sub, it's what he's more suited to at this point.
Christ I didn’t take notes but he played well in the first half - didn’t he have a chance at one point? A couple of runs? He certainly did better then Sterling, Kane etc
No, he was shite in the first half and the only thing he did was control an offside ball nicely and then feck up the offside chance.
"Had some nice touches"
Each to their own mate
He’a gonna be a cracking player I’m sure of that, but it that was a “good first half” from an England attacker versus Scotland then my Lord we’re horrendous."Had some nice touches"
You can’t even tell me one of his good moments you claimed he had, versus Scotland at home.
Hasn’t been the same since he changed his hair colour to match gazza
Making it too much about himself and it's starting to show in his game.
The saviour jack grealish was just as shit.
Looking like an absolute twat now. Two dreadful games with a spotlight on his head
Should just shave his head now.
Think he believed his own hype. Massive own goal recreating the Gazza look and then playing like that.
Jack got 27 minutes.
Is almost half an hour on the pitch nothing to you ?
Compared to 63 minutes, he completed 3 dribbles to Foden’s 4, got fouled more, had much better passing accuracy.
So yeah, it means something, but coming on is always tougher and he still outperformed him.
Hes coming on against a tired defence. His fouls won were all near the halfway line. Did feck all.
The game had turned into a complete shambles long before Grealish came on.
Was better than Sterling and Kane, I do not think this style of foorball is suiting him, hes more of a linkup player.
During which he did very little.
That's my point. They are all playing shit. It's on the manager.
Oh for sure. But it can still work out if he picks his best and most talented players who can do stuff on their own. That means Grealish, Sancho, Rashford should all probably start in the 3 behind Kane.
You need a Sancho or Rashford on each side in modern football. We will look back at this like we do at Scholes being played on the left.
Foden is not a right winger. He doesn't play well there

For City he was best when used as a false 9 and had a Pep system with Mahrez/Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan to support him. He wasn't used that much as a creative force for them.
Ian Wright can’t believe he was subbed 
The managers main fault was the starting lineup, Foden being one of those mistakes.
Will have a shit England career, but GOAT at City.
He was probably the 2nd most creative player in the City team in the 2nd half of the season.
