#47 | Phil Foden - 2021/22 Performances

[MCFC1993]

He's become a must start player, he's that important to the team now.

 

[TFC]

How about this lad ffs? An absolute worldie and he's a Bert from Stockport <3

 

[Phil1]

We see it but the world won't catch up for a while.
Enjoy.

 

[TonyM]

We are always a much better team with Foden in it.

 

[Shaffer92]

The best player England has ever produce, he is better than Gaza and the fat granny shagger.

Shows up in every big game.

little worried theres no news on a new contract

there's been news that it's coming along. He's the last player I'd be worried about contracts with.

Philip Walter “Ronnie” Foden is now the star player at Manchester City!

And now I’m going to criticise him haha

Even with being this unbelievably talented player he’s reached to be so far, he’s got a hell of a lot of improving to do. The main things are with the timing of his shots and his shot placement selection.

He’s scored some beautiful and thunderous goals, and took his goal brilliantly today. But if you look at that shot today after the mesmerising run and set-up by Bernardo; Phil’s got to his it first time! The extra touch wasn’t what was required. There were also games like away in Paris last season and at home to Dortmund, where he was taking multiple shots on too early or taking an extra touch and shooting too late, or shooting at the wrong part of the goal.

But if/when he works on those things (Frank Lampard said he used to stay behind training for hours practising his shooting), you’re taking about someone who is going to win the Balon D’Or. He’s that good!

I fucking love him, so glad he’s a Blue!

Well said mate. I agree that Phil should have first timed the ball from Bernie. The extra touch allowed their keeper to shut down the angle. But that is a minor observation and as you said he will develop his shooting skills with maturity.

Having said that, he had a brilliant game.

My only other comment relates to Phil’s honesty in not going down. I know this is a minority opinion, but I have greater respect for Phil because he plays an honest game. I don’t want him going down like he was shot, from the slightest touch.

It’s up to the spineless refs to crack down on diving. It shouldn’t be the case that Phil has to join the dark side.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Brilliant player. Grealish has been really good so far this season, but I think despite being 6 years younger Foden is a better player. He’s unstoppable when on form

Yep.

 

[Dax777]

He's become a must start player, he's that important to the team now.

He's been that for close to a year now.

Everyone does. But refs cannot miss that call. That an incentive to dive :(

 

[dennishasdoneit]

He's a winger..he's played well in the middle a few times against lower league sides but average at best against decent teams hence why its not a more common occurrence. He has the potential to be a world class winger why move him to midfield because people want him to be Daves heir.

Grealish is a quality player but a totally unessesary signing.

Rubbish.
Apart from the last line....

 

[dennishasdoneit]

If he carries on his trajectory he’s having a stand named after him, that’s how brilliant he is. Pep has got his progression bang on.

You ain't seen nothing yet..

 

[dennishasdoneit]

He’s a left winger and no one can convince me anything other. Unplayable when he’s out there forcing fullbacks back to their box.

Nope.
Deep centre midfield is where Phil will play football for City.in the future. Two footed. Like YaYa.
Control the Game.
Watch him go.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Bernie was awesome today.

I was astounded. Once again.
By his brilliance.Probably one of the Finest footballers I've ever seen play the game.Magnificent.touch control and Movement is unbelievable

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Nope. Foden left wing is like having a more dangerous Sane. His talents are wasted deeper.

 

[M16 citeh]

I'm tempted to agree but we don't have to put this kid in a box. He can play everywhere and hopefully he will over a long career here

He won’t always be playing on the wing. He will end up more of a central midfielder pulling the strings for the team.

 

[lightning Rodri]

City not signing a striker is going to put a lot of responsibility on his young shoulders, at the moment it looks he's the most reliable goal scorer among the forwards.

 

[David Silva]

Sane-esque finish yesterday. Agree with the calls not to move him back deeper into midfield. Rather see grealish move there over time.

Foden is too much of a goal threat to not have him as a forward.

 

[Marvin]

Nope. Foden left wing is like having a more dangerous Sane. His talents are wasted deeper.

I agree with this. Foden was so good yesterday. He needs to play in that position. His dribbling and close control mean he must play where he's most dangerous.

Bernardo was also exceptional.

Bernardo comment accepted.
