People who are afraid over his penalty box issues needs to calm down & take a step back and see big picture.
Chelsea game was Foyth's 9th career start in 'league' club football.
Considering that, Foyth is performing brilliantly. Last season league cup to now - he has grown physically. Already got a International callup. Made his debut & won MoM against Mexico.
On the ball, he looks imperious. Proper defending - cutting out corners, crosses - good, blocks & interception - good.
Only problem has been rush of blood of unnecessary tackles to win the ball inside the box. This is a small problem considering this will improve with experience. In a London Derby with 60k fans around, such incidents are prone to happen. He got lucky.
More he will play, more he will improve.

He’s 20. Will only get better and better. Especially for a CB 20 is a crazy age to be playing in a top 6 team at CB. That only happens with the very best CB like Terry or Ferdinand. Trying very hard to think of another CB at 20 that’s played in a top 6 team in recent years. Struggling to think of one. Gomez is the closest at 21.

Hazard did what they all do - fell over at the slightest touch. Foyth needs to get that into his head and I'm sure he will. He's hardly played and you don't give away penalties in training.
22 when moved to city. But the point is if a CB is playing at a very high level at 20 they usually go on to be top draw. And just look how long it’s taken stones to iron out the mistakes.

He was pretty erratic for Everton and early days at city. Tbh hes still got a mistake in him.
Although I do think the Foyth/Stones comparison is a good one.

maybe if he got more support from his fullback he wouldnt be put into compromising positions? Also how did Aurier get on in against Chelsea, I couldnt watch the match so I'm just curious?

He mentioned a 20 yr old CB in a top 6 team. You mentioned Stones. He showed you he was 22. What happened before is irrelevant because everton and barnsley are not top 6 teams.
2 years at that age are very important in the formation of a player. Foyth at 22 will probably have corrected most of his mistakes
Foyth looks much more comfortable on the ball than Stones.

You didn't watch the match yet you are assuming he didn't get enough support from fullback?
Aurier had one of his better games both defensively and going forwards. This was a very good all round team performance. What the hell were you doing that was more important than watching this game?
Looks like a proper gifted footballer rather than just a good defender to me rather like Ledley King was.

Everton finished ahead of us in the season before his move, that's 5th btw.
Very defensive reaction about well deserved critique. You can't challenge like that in the area, 20 years old or not.

mate I've watched the match I just wanted to see how full of shit you are. Congradulations youre somewhere between a toddler's potty trainer and Paul Merson after eating some dodgy indian food.
