There is a Phil Foden backlash in the Mailbox; the England and Manchester City forward ‘is not good enough for international football and never has been’. Send your thoughts to theeditor@football365.com Get your Phil Why can people not see that Phil Foden is not good enough for international football and never has been.
He’s had one half decent game for England against an average opponent. The rest of the time he’s gone missing, given the ball away, and harmed the flow of the team. He’s the new Mason Mount – pick him and we’re rubbish.
Palmer did more in a few minutes than Foden has in 3 matches. Simply not fit to lace Grealish’s boots at international level either. No mentions of club ‘form’ here please.
You simply can’t compare Peps little pet who gets to run wherever he wants and profit from the work of others in the Ciry team with Jack, who gets pinned to the left touchline, allowed only to do the same two moves game in game out, and screamed at in the face by Guardiola in a manner which should be outlawed from the game forever. (You’ve never er done anything without having more money than everyone else Pep, you’re not the best coach in the world by a long chalk) Please stay at home Phil . Enjoy your new baby and let Anthony Gordon do what we need on the left and Cole Palmer take the 10 if Bellingham keeps failing to show up.
While we’re at it, Kane needs axing too. His loping and lolloping needs replacing with verve and dynamism. Take the spot.
