villakram Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Poch believing the press, that his wins over them with Spurs had a tactical masterclass aspect to it, rather than loads of luck. PSG have way more than that in them. I'd love to know what Tuchel makes of all this these days or some of the PSG players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Navas not enjoying his evening. Big win for Man City. Sad their supporters can't be at their No-Soul Bowl for the return leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Foden is some player. Closest player in the modern game to Iniesta IMO. KDB was the star performer, and Gundogan was class, but that performance from Foden age 20 was a sign of some special years ahead. Love to see him linking up with Grealish for England. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like Foden has really kicked on last six months. Was probably a perception back in September he was still another Jack Wilshere type hype merchant but he's got it all imo, touch, gliding past opponents and decent composure infront of goal. Really think he can be England's best technical talent in final third since Rooney in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I've got a feeling he'll be better for Manchester City than he will for England. Strikes me as a guy with impeccable technique but needs others to be on his wavelength to really make things happen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Foden looks better than the likes of Alli, Wilshere when they broke through. At City he should be less at risk of plateauing and then declining like several other young English players have done once signing a big money deal. He could be a real superstar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, same as always the real test is what happens to him when he gets his first 6 figure weekly pay check, then gets some niggly injuries Its got the better of way too many young English players, latest one is probably callum hudson odoi, mad that he got £100k a week a Chelsea rather than joining bayern But foden at Man City has everything pointing to being immune to that, hopefully Bellingham moving out or dortmund sees him push on through it all too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Never mind the Super League, the day Man City win the Champions League is the day football truly dies. That day will be this season and it's thoroughly depressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets me is with rave about all these great players from other counties when we have so much talent in this country. Foden, Grealish and Mount to name a few. Once again the Premier League has shown its way ahead of the other leagues in europe. We could still get a Real Madrid vs PSG but I doubt it. Its ironic that at one time they used to go on about how our players aren't as technically as gifted as other players now we are produces so many technically gifted players.

villa4europe Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) This generation feels different from the golden generation, less bickering and more of a group, more positive, less superstars, more willingness to go abroad and play football rather than sit on a top 4 bench The golden generation felt to me like a team of brilliant PL players in a global competition where they didn't play PL football and we came undone - Steven Gerrard for example did not play football like Spains all conquering side did - this group feels like they have more about them than that Edited April 29, 2021 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Been watching Villareal strolling through Arsenal as I expected. What the hell is happening at old Trafford though, Roma used 3 subs before half time?! Great for them they've got the away goals but considering they have quite an old 11 their intensity will probably dip late on so Man. United could still win 3-2 or something.

OutByEaster? Posted April 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2021 Watching Robbie Savage commentate on a United game is just like being sat next to an idiot in a United shirt, who's half cut and stinking of cheese and onion crisps and has only ever watched one game before. Neutral he ain't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
