47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

[jollylescott]

Great display by Phil. I just saw the stats he ran a kilometre more than any other player!

 

[WallyA]

I can't believe people think he doesn't create.

He is taking over as the main playmaker quite nicely.

 

[Chak19]

I love that he assisted tonight, I prefer that to him scoring since we know he's a great finisher at his best, but if he wants to play as a 10 he needs to improve his playmaking and it's looking very promising now.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

David Silva-esque performance tonight. Really looks like he'd had a complete mental reset.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Beautifully played today. Think I saw he had like 8-9 chances created tonight. So dangerous!

 

[alexmcity]

Fantastic.

Haaland, Foden and Doku: best front 3 right now?

 

[Ajm1985]

Just brilliant. Incisive, great range of passing, dictating tempo, helping build up. Most mature performance I've seen from him.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

We needed a goal and Phil stepped up and grabbed the game. Unplayable on his day and he’ll be difference between us having a successful season or not

 

[Akira]

Fantastic performance. Lad's back.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

He's getting his mojo back. He's looked really good in the last two games. Great to see.

 

[meltonblue]

Loving the way he’s been used the last couple
of games and he looks like he loves it too. He’s had more responsibility but also more freedom in decisions and that’s exactly what he needed.

Bloody brilliant. Time to keep it at the next level we all know he can.

 

[Goater101]

People was so quick to write him off. One of the biggest success stories of this football club is that we produced a talent like this. No doubt he’s gonna kick on now rest of the season

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Walt is back

 

[Gorbachev]

I do wonder if the shackles are finally off him now KDB has gone.

He finally has the freedom to live up to being the main man in midfield without having an all time great still at the forefront.

 

[ws01]

He is one of the best I've ever seen on the half turn. Why not make sure he's in a position to utilise that regularly?

 

[NQCitizen]

Fantastic.

Haaland, Foden and Doku: best front 3 right now?

Foden is playing 10 though, or at least the most advanced 8, with Bernardo as the world's most defensive right winger.

I wouldn't move Foden away from that position, but I'd be interested to see what Savinho, Cherki or Bobb can do on the right, especially if Khus is behind them as he's solid enough on his own.

Love Bernardo but he brings zero threat in terms of attacking the goal from a wide right position. I'm not moving Foden under any circumstances!

Cherki played his best stuff on the right for Lyon last season.

 

[manimanc]

He's looking like he's back to his best.
When he ticks, we tick.

Brings so much energy to the team.

 

[city5189]

He's the 1 player you can't take your eye off when city are in possession, little movements between lines.
Very noticeable that after 20 minutes rodri started to play those type of passes to get Phil on the half turn.
Worked his bollocks of as well
Phil looks to be enjoying himself again which is great news for city and bad for the rest of the league.
