Please no one say again c Jones is a better player than foden for there age coz Its not even close.

13 Jan 2021 19:20:28
you're right, Curtis is far superior.

13 Jan 2021 19:22:26
Will this view change if Foden has a few bad games in a row?

Cos Jones was the greatest thing since sliced bread until he had a few poor performances on the bounce.

No mate I'd never base it of a few bad games, but Forden is looking good in a good team, scoring important goals (might be there top scorer)? . I can't remeber a time when Jones has done that yet. And I'm not knocking Jones I like him he's good. But don't compare them at this stage.

City really seem to be hitting top gear at the mo. It was only about a month ago Pepe was being mocked for being found out and now he’s sat 1 point off us with a game in hand.

Foden is ahead at this point and is only 6 months older. But this is CJ first season so he should come on a lot next season. Jones has big potential.

13 Jan 2021 20:29:13
Agree mate.

Err OP, Foden has at least 2 seasons head start over CJ and even in his first season so your argument is already flawed from jump. Also, Foden was not such an integral part of the City first team like CJ is now in his first season and that is not his fault cos City had great players at the time. CJ stepped right in the team this season and was already a more than viable option. Foden was not.

So yes, one can say that CJ is better cos he is less experienced than Foden and is already producing a lot more good performances in his first season than Foden did in his, whether in the PL and CL. In fact, Foden got less game time than CJ did so again, there is an argument to be made for CJ being better.

But of course football is not that simple cos both teams play differently and both managers have diff ways of blooding their young talents. It is not as cut and dry as your strawman argument makes it sound.

I don't really understand where this comparison came from in the first place, they aren't even playing the same position. As for Curtis apparently playing terribly for the last few appearance, I'm not sure about that either, seems be ks just the latest scapegoat or fashionable player to bash after we have a few poor results then anything else.

Foden is a big talent, so is Curtis.

Foden has been around the city team for at least 3/ maybe 4 years.

This is Curtis’ breakthrough season.

I’m not going to compare them but Curtis is much closer to first 11 regular than Foden currently is.

That being said, I think Pep has massively underplayed Foden for the talent he shows.
