rodri, haaland and foden...

[Hazy2]

AliB Kinkladze had no dramas playing with journeymen. Foden is playing with Stellar players. I find it hard to watch him, my mate will defend Phil but he takes the view he won everything. Is he and Stones, done.

End of the day, Foden isn't a Kolarov or Otamendi who are/were class every week

MEH Not sure about that, I liked both but sadly running is a requirement in the league we play in.

For a young fella, Mase has some of the best Rosy Specs around. They both got stuck in, that's for sure. But I wish we could flip back to look at the grief Ota got here sometimes

And Kola was class, sometimes. Luckily Clichy was also around. Having those 4 fullbacks interchangeable was a massive bonus

But he's crap at the moment yeah?

I was thinking more of midfielders like Colin Bell, Asa Hartford, Liam Brady etc. Always on it, every time.

If we're just thinking of him as a goalscorer/striker then I guess he did.

Rate he's going it could be Macclesfield soon

At the start of the season when he got for he looked more like Foden of 23/24 with 5 goals in 6 games, winner against Leeds. He's playing crap at the moment - so is 99% of the team

Problem seems to be, as I wrote above - he's the icing on the cake, not the man to change a game if the players around him aren't on the same wavelength. If others around him dip in form, he amplifies it - if others around him are on song, he amplifies that too.

Incredible player in a great team, passgenger otherwise who struggles to get involved and influence

23/24 season he dragged us to the title by himself. He's got it in him to change a game - it's up to Pep to get that out of him.

Wouldn't surprise me if, like most of the team, he's being asked to hold back..

He played exceptionally in a team that for the most part had been together for a long time and were mentally exceptional - while he was definitely the standout player, as I said, he is amplified by a team fully on his wavelength.

When they are good, he is outstanding - the opposite seems true, he also amplifies a team negatively which is not on his wavelength because he can't influence the game alone. As soon as the core of the team started to struggle or be long term absent (thinking KDB in particular), he became a passenger.

Can he accept it today amd take the ban for tomorrow? Probably not. I'm expecting more of the same, particularly in the immediate 3 games before we are due to play the Arse in the PL.
Remember Sergio getting the ban before a derby a while back. Tbf here, Rodders should not have said anything, it's a free hit for them to ban him - right though his comments were.

Not really been much of a precedent for a player calling referees cheats before as I recall

The FA could decide to impose a very lengthy ban then. Possibly 5-6 games. Just because they are cunts

Honestly, I never speak about referees, I respect their job massively. But they have to pay attention to these things.

He hasn’t said anything bad really but here it comes
Tame compared to Sloth Dyke and everyone that has a pop at us

Remember, Klopp used to spit at, get in the face of, verbally abused referees and it was fine. Arteta has said similar to Rodri. Nothing.
