Man City will be pleased to have got back to winning ways with victory over Crystal Palace, but one aspect of the match has disappointed some supporters.
The Eagles twice came close to scoring in the second half through Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha, but aside from that it was clear sailing for the Citizens.
Pep Guardiola’s side dominated in typical fashion with 71% possession and 21 shots, with the likes of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus missing chances late on to put the game to bed.
Despite that, Phil Foden had to wait until the 89th minute for his introduction, and that has caused concern for some.
Their bewilderment is understandable, too, given his manager’s comments, with Guardiola stating that he would never consider selling the England U21 international, even for €500m.
Fans are keen to see Foden given more game time, and are frustrated that his lack of minutes could be hindering his development, particularly as they feel he is capable of performing against opposition lower down the league, such as Palace.
Here are some of the reactions to Foden’s late appearance against the Eagles.
