My issue with Phil Foden and why he is overrated is that he flatters to deceive. When Manchester City are purring and everything’s going their way, he looks world class. But the moment City are off it or a game gets scrappy, he goes missing. In the England national team — he rarely takes games by the scruff of the neck. Stick him in an average side and he looks pretty average himself.
That’s why I rate Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers higher. Palmer was outstanding even when Chelsea were an absolute mess — he carried them and made things happen on his own.
And Rogers? Says it all really. He’s a proper match-winner. When we need that bit of magic or someone to step up, he delivers. That’s the difference for me — players who turn up when it’s tough, not just when everything’s going right.
