Phil Foden needs Premier League minutes

Phil Foden looks like nothing but a PR exercise to me.

"Oh look, we are developing young English players".

Pep trusted Foden enough to start him against spurs last season in their toughest game in the title run in. Trust isn't an issue.

So what is the issue then?

Or did Foden do something wrong in that game, to lose his trust?

In the summer, Pep said he's the most talented player he'd ever seen.

Really?

That sounds so sincere.

"I have said many times in press conferences, but maybe not said it in front of him, Phil is the most, most, most talented player I have ever seen in my career as a manager.

"His only problem is sometimes his manager doesn't put him in the starting XI. Hopefully in the future that can improve."


Pathetic.

So Foden is the most, most, most talented player Pep has ever seen in his career as a manager?



He's so humble, sincere and honest. He's not condescending and patronising at all.

Yes, I expect to see more involvement for him as the season progresses and depending on how their cup runs go.

It just feels a bit rich to be waxing lyrical about Foden and saying what a shame it is that he doesn't get more game time, when he's the guy who ultimately could change that. All a bit hollow imo.

I don’t think that one game, which came aftet the taxing CL game against Spurs, is an indication that he trusts him given he doesn’t play him in the premier league. That’s fine, and it’s Pep’s call, but people always make excuses for Pep not having trust in the younger players.

"which came after the taxing CL game against Spurs, is an indication that he trusts him given he doesn’t play him in the premier league."

Fair point.
