Back to his best recently. Really driving at players with pace and skill. Can see he’s swimming in confidence from that finish too. Brilliant
 
World class. Southampton kept trying to crowd his side out at the start of the game but him and Cancelo were just too good. Superb in tight places, would have been a hell of an assist for Haaland when he hit the post, but he got one and his goal was pure class. Different gravy
 
In a rich vein of form currently, another good performance today and a quality finish for his goal.

He's a natural goal scorer imo. I know some people don't think he is but he's got the ability to create space and time for his shot that I don't think can necessarily be taught. Heck of a pass to Haaland as well.

Some of his finishing for the EDS and when he first came through was just absurd. He still has some incredible ones (I don't think last week's 1st goal got nearly enough credit for just how good it was) but has become a bit more conventional and shoots a lot less.


I think his whole game goes up a level when he's scoring goals, sometimes he's a bit hesitant in the final third, but when he's scored a few and his confidence is up, everything speeds up a fraction and he's just devastating.

It hasn’t stopped Haaland...

Foden is a mega talent, but he’s not the “generational talent” that is often spoken of as of yet.

That being said, he could be come on if Pepball clicks.

Haaland did the pre season with the main squad. I dont really like to compare degrees of talent but i do think hes the best english player of his generation and a world class talent. Now, only time will tell how high can he go, but midfielders can take a while to fully develop (De Bruyne) as its the most complex position to play in

I think this season our Phil has gone up a level or two, I feel like he is taking the games in a more mature way, every movement with more purpose

Whilst I take your point, Foden has been with City for 10+ years.

This last preseason probably won’t define him as a player.

That pass through Bella-Kotchap’s legs to de Bruyne, saucy.
