          He's playing 90mins every week and only blanked due to an unbelievable save from the keeper (+Haaland blanking his other shot!).

    Tripled on City, like many others I presume, but looking at Reijnders, who took a lot of prising out of my team a few weeks back, and Cherki, and thinking can I really, really take out Foden for either of them?
    Could this be the beginning of the Foden slump?

    It's bound to happen. it always does. It's just being awake when it does.
