Phil Foden’s recent comments about fatigue may bolster Liverpool’s title hopes as City struggles to keep pace in the Premier League.
City had a chance to close the gap on Liverpool but ended up drawing against Brentford. Foden scored twice, but they let a 2-0 lead slip away, which was a tough blow.
With Liverpool also struggling to secure a win against Nottingham Forest, City now finds itself 12 points behind the leaders. Even with their usual strong finish to the season, it seems like they have a mountain to climb this time around.
Foden acknowledged the fatigue after the match, saying, “We just looked tired at the end.” He noted that they struggled with the physicality of the game, especially in the last 20-30 minutes.
Despite the challenges, Foden remains optimistic. He mentioned that the team is used to playing frequently and is focused on making improvements. “We’ve still got steps to go to where we want to be,” he said, hinting that they’re not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
Liverpool fans might be feeling a bit more confident now, but with City’s history of strong performances, it’s still a race to watch closely.
