Said it before, but Foden's game relies on being able to float around with a bit less attention to get off his spectacular strikes. Saka is often operating at the other end of the spectrum, so he's used to grafting for extremely narrow windows of opportunity.

Gazza M Holy fuck, just had a look at this ... tell you what if you didn't think there was a press conspiracy this would be inclined to make you believe it. Especially after the treatment of that penalty shootout
Clrnc maybe should have left out one striker for Sancho. One of Watkins or Toney is not going to get any minutes
Agreed and I think Branthwaite should have been in the squad as well.
Two of Bowen, Toney & Watkins should have been dropped imo. It isn't about the quality of the player but about maximising the different profiles in the squad. Those three players are all top quality but how many minutes are they really gonna get?
Burnwinter so I think Foden is elite at two things. Off the ball movement and striking.
The reason I don’t think these translate well to England is City’s players spend hours practising their movement and possession. Southgate doesn’t have that luxury. That also means he won’t create as many opportunities for Foden to shoot in good positions.
they had options, they chose to sign up for this racist shit for commercial reasons. nigeria would love saka (they still do even though he rejected them). mainoo could be playing for ghana.
stop rewarding racist people with your talents.
Agree with Ian Wright
A bit off topic but I do hate this phrase "gas lit" which seems to have crept into everyday conversations.
yeah it's blown up now. lewis hamilton also put up a long post supporting saka and putting the press on blast.
JazzG You're crazy, Jazz. Gaslighting is a perfectly useful word, your reaction is irrational.
Think he’s after something more renewable

Seen Jacob Steinberg said accusations of him being over harsh on Mainoo were anti-Semitic and that he's a proud Zionist. Lead to people digging up some disgusting comments from him on social media from before he was at the Guardian.
Burnwinter I fear this went under appreciated
