Foden is much better at the same age, but that doesn't always translate to being able to be the star player and carry a team on your back as you age. Foden may end up in a Messi situation where he's undoubtedly a star and one of the best players in the world, but he's always had top echelon coaching and absolute megastar teams around him built to his strengths. Jack has shown he can do it when all the pressure is squarely on him. It may just be me but it seems to have taken years for Foden to finally get to the stage where he fits into the Guardiola style and performing week in, week out. Pep even called him out about it last season. Jack's only been there a few months, albeit Foden obviously started a lot younger at City having come through the ranks.

This I can agree with to an extent... I still believe that Albrighton is a fan... and Joe Lolley...

KentVillan Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Grealish supposedly starting at False 9 today. Also, anyone else wondering how after all his injury woes at Villa (and supposedly in the Euros too), he’s now playing 90 mins for City most weeks with no obvious problems? He has the 4th most mins in PL this season for City, behind Cancelo, Dias and Ederson. Fair play to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_avfc Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 He got booed pretty much everywhere when he played for us. Probably comes from the number of times he’s fouled every game. Easier to blame it on him diving then to acknowledge that your defenders aren’t good enough to stop him fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
