We'll see what Foden is made of. As it stands he's now down the pecking order. Looking good in training is not going to cut it, he has to shine every opportunity he gets or he'll end up gone in 2 years which I'd hate to see.

I find it interesting we didn't sign a striker. I wonder if the plan is that Foden / Cherki play central, if Foden plays he plays off Haaland.

I think that would do him the world of good

I think Semenyo plays up top if Haaland's missing.

Me too. Foden plays as a 10 but he is behind Cherki at the moment . Good to have the option if Semenyo is also unavailable..

Definitely in the league & FA cups.

We might start to see some issues if we get knocked out of the cups early though. Lots of players in the team now who will want to be starting

I thought Foden did well when played in the centre. He is a 10, play him there

A midfield of nico, cherkie, Anderson and Fernandez does not have room for wishy washy Phil foden - impact sub and cup games await him
