That is well impressive

We’ve only scored 17 goals this season - which is the lowest number in the top 9 teams in the Prem.

Here is a stat for Carl, “only Dyche at Burnley has used less substitutes than pep in the PL” even though he is going on about the requirement for five, moreover in the last two games one CL (five subs allowed) and one PL game he has used one sub out of a possible eight. Hmmm use the ones you have pep before campaigning for more.

Well done lads, turned it into another moan, at least you're consistent

PeP gave his reasoning yesterday............nothing in what he said can justify 5 subs.

Whats next..having a B team on the bench?

Yep, that's what makes us sound like them, it isn't the entitlement.

What entitlement? If you told me we could back to Maine Road and playing in Division 2 I’d take that all day. Best years of my life.

Expecting a player on £160k a week that we’ve paid £60 million for, or a manager on £20 million a year to be good isn’t entitlement.

Not nearly as consistent as you boring the board with your drivel.

Pep Guardiola he does what he wants!

Some interesting stats about Foden in this article, beggars belief he is not a first team regular-:

Are you referring to me? If so, I never said that, I said I was disappointed he wasn't playing more but let's acknowledge the amount he had played up to that point.

Since then he has played fuck all PL football, which disappoints me.

Pep's latest words give a hint on why he doesn't play as much as we'd all like, it seems to be about game control and knowing when to stick or twist, the type of thing you develop with age and experience.

I can't read that article as I don't have a sub to the Daily Mail.

PEP GUARDIOLA would not divulge whether this is by accident or design, but Phil Foden has become a European specialist.

Tonight, a dead rubber with Marseille should be his fifth consecutive Champions League start, the 12th of the youngster’s fledgling career. By comparison, he has been named among Manchester City’s Premier League XI on just 16 occasions since a full debut two years ago.

The calls for Foden’s regular inclusion are growing louder and it is striking that he has sat on City’s bench in each of the last six League fixtures. Meanwhile, he has been key in the smooth passage to the Champions League knockout stages. ‘Phil has been top all season,’ said Guardiola yesterday. ‘He has to improve with the final decisions in the 18-yard box. He has to be more patient in that moment, but that is his age.’

What 20-year-old Foden may lack in experience he more than makes up for in energy and purpose. StatSports, who provide analysis for Premier League clubs, record him as the second-quickest midfielder and the 10th-quickest player overall. A typical top-flight midfielder completes 900 metres of ‘high-speed running’ per game, but Foden’s average is more than 200m higher.

Foden outstrips his peers when it comes to high-intensity actions — the kind of movement that can help unlock stubborn defences which City sometimes toil against. Again, he is 200m up on the average. Guardiola’s performance staff are always telling Foden to ease up but he usually resists. When his manager describes him as ‘like a little boy’, this is what he means. He does not want to stop.

Generally there is more zip when Foden plays, evident when he dragged City to a point off the bench at West Ham in October.

Where he is stationed is a source of interest. Although tipped as the heir to David Silva, he often plays out wide and Guardiola says that a place in central midfield is some way off.

The wide attacking positions are usually taken by Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez, with Ferran Torres and Bernardo Silva among those in reserve. Kevin De Bruyne normally plays behind the striker. If his boss does not utilise him in midfield, there are not obvious holes for Foden to fill in League matches when everybody is fit.

Only one Premier League midfielder, Harvey Barnes, has scored more than Foden’s 10 goals from open play this calendar year. It has left some scratching their heads as to why Foden is not an immovable object in Guardiola’s team.

""let's also acknowledge that he has been pretty regular this season""
""All I'm saying is let's acknowledge that he has played a fair bit this season""

You said it in black and white ..for all to see....'' He has been playing pretty Regular this season""......or is that your personal code for ''he hasn't played enough this season'' ? which is it ?

It's exactly what I said Carl, up to that point he had been pretty regular and as such had played a fair bit. I backed that up with facts on minutes played.

Show me where I suggested "he plays enough".
