I think you misread his emotions there. It wasn't calm and composure, it was frustration at not scoring earlier, he knew he should have scored at least one prior to that.The way Foden walked off after scoring his goal.. what a complete BALLER. No crazy celebration, just calm and composure. what a guy
I'd say he did exactly that in the game. If you miss shitloads of chances, then you at least know you're getting into the positions, and if you keep doing it, the goal will come eventually. He did that, and it did.I think you misread his emotions there. It wasn't calm and composure, it was frustration at not scoring earlier, he knew he should have scored at least one prior to that.
Actually think he cares a bit too much at times, hopefully learns to instantly shrug off those misses as he matures and doesn't let it eat at him as with his talent he'll always get another chance.

This probably explains his lack of proper goal celebration.I think you misread his emotions there. It wasn't calm and composure, it was frustration at not scoring earlier, he knew he should have scored at least one prior to that.

I honestly think that when he scored he was angry about the chances he had missed, I think Phil was thinking to himself " not fucking good enough "The way Foden walked off after scoring his goal.. what a complete BALLER. No crazy celebration, just calm and composure. what a guy
That’s a great point, seems he is the left wing Sane replacement we thought we needed to buyI can say without any doubts or questions -> Sane has never been that GOOD...
That's what the greatest do :)He seemed to take missing that chance really personally. many others would have gone back into their shell feeling sorry for themselves Phil instead was like a man possessed determined to right his perceived wrong. Fantastic performance Phil just keeps getting better and better.
What about his finishing? He should have scored 3 last night after his fantastic dribbling, build up play and great ability to arrive in the right spot. He snatched at his shots, or hit them in the centre of the goal/at their keeper. The one time he did show composure, he scored.Foden is a genetic combination of Messi, David Silva and Leroy.
Messi - his dribbling style and running with the ball
David - intelligence to find pockets of space
Leroy - acceleration, speed and the way he glides with the ball to manoeuvre the opposition
He’s a player and a supporter. He was gutted!That's what the greatest do :)
TBF i've seen this a lot from Sterling in the past as well when he misses a tonne of chances, and then is just clearly relieved to have finally scored one of them. I think on the whole, Phil usually hits the target and at least makes the keeper work (even if its straight at him) and that's clearly better than missing the target completely. But on the same line as Raz, the desire to keep going and not let your head drop is really good for the future.I think you misread his emotions there.

Has he gotten faster?
