    Couple of things. This is Man City, back to back league champions, domestic treble winners, going to the Bernabeu and winning Man City. The players 19 year old Foden has to try to get ahead of are De Bruyne (best midfielder in the world probably) Ilkay Gundogan (German international midfielder) David Silva (club legend and, up until this season, one of the best midfielders around), Bernardo Silva (world class playmaker), Riyah Mahrez (one of the best wide players in the world). So comparing that to Greenwood, Aarons or Wilock is a bit misleading. Loaning him I think is the wrong move too, you want him as close to Guardiola and those players as possible.

    Fair play to Sancho, different circumstances suit different people. Foden thinks his best career move is to stay with City, learn under Pep, and next season he will get his rewards with David Silva moving on, you can see Foden taking on that spot in the squad. Something I have seen others say, he looked stronger yesterday, faster, more athletic, that's the side of his game that needed work, it's something he's improving.

    That last paragraph, wow, that seems so far wide of the mark.

    City have nothing to play for in the league so if he isn't getting a chance now you have to question why not? Why not give him PL experience when there is nothing at stake so he can learn?

    Targett has been having awful games of late. This will have helped Foden also. He will have sterner challenges ahead to prove himself than the worst defence in the league.

    They are still active in the Champions League and you don't want to upset the rhythm of the team at the moment if there's no pressing need to rest players. Foden's time is next season, but the display yesterday was just a taster. He has the potential to be an elite player.

    City will do what City always do and go out and buy a Silva replacement - no way Foden is going to take his place next season. Literally zero chance of it
