I know we need to take care of the welfare of players, but the British media citing Foden having issues really goes to show how protective they are of the great white hope. I mean if it was any other English player of a different color, I highly doubt they'd be sympathetic and say "oh no they're not mentally tough enough, that's letting everyone down" blah blah blah.
This drum needs to be beaten. With the current furor over MLS, I have absolutely no sympathy for Foden.
How long have we seen headlines like -
Foden bangs in some long-range shots while oil money boosts CIty to another trophy: Foden clear of Saka
MLS does a lotus pose goal celebration: MLS needs to calm down and be humble (ironically)
What's really interesting is that I've heard almost no one talking about Saka but Arsenal fans wishing him back to health.
