47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

[FinallyGoodwin]

Showed glimpses of his old self towards the end of the season. Confident he can carry that over into next. As people have said, you don't lose that quality overnight.

 

[CΛL]

Only player that gets 3 years to find his form again. Maresca isn’t Pep. Also he is getting the whole summer off. No excuses next season

Talking as if he didn’t play very well for the first half of this season. His last two starts he got man of the match with two assists and then scored on the final day.

He’ll be back. Who needs enemies with fans like you!

Just seen that. That’s the way to enjoy a pre season and holiday mixed in one. He looks sharp and on it. Like you think we see him at his best again next season.

What makes you say that? Did Phil tell you that?

HE is his bestie. They go fishing together

 

[christened at st marks]

If the club had not had a managerial change this summer he was all set to seek a move away.

Fuk knows if that is true or not but always thought he got played out of position too much, should always be on the right cutting in on his left foot

Thats not his best position and unlikely to be where Maresca would play him.

That Instagram account for his son needs to go

There is a very good and smart reason it was set up.

For some reason several years ago Ronnie became a focus online of South American fans, they came up with the “El Wei” shit and it became a very weird and big blown up online thing.

They set the instagram account up to manage and control the narrative that was online about their little son.

It was good advice they got and it worked.

No more ridiculous shit like that online.

Insane having just sat through the torture of that England performance that he’s not there.

So how are you related to Savinho?

 

[blue_danube]

Good to see him staying sharp

Obviously the video is just PR stuff and he's knocking a ball about in an edited video under no pressure but at least he's staying active

I get the feeling a lot of players in the game don't even kick a ball between the season finishing and returning back to training.

 

[come-on-barney]

Exactly what we all hoped for, back getting in to shape already, looks motivated. Be like having a new world class signing if he can get back to his best!

 

[give it to gordon]

Keep wacking tha sun block on kidder

He has never really been that good for England. There is no guarantee he'd have made rhings better. Not even in his bear form, talk less now

 

[svennis pennis]

The lad has played consecutively:

2023/24 season
Euros
2024/25 season
Club World Cup
2025/26 season

He’s barely had a break for three years and people think these players are supposed to be like machines with no emotional and physical damage. He’s nigh on been involved in around 60 matches a season + summer tournaments.

It’s great to see him training, but I’d love for him to disappear and spend time with his family, his friends, enjoy his success and come back recharged. Im glad he’s not in the World Cup squad.

 

[Dax777]

If Foden comes back as a scoring 10, wed be far ahead of schedule. With Cherki playing as a nominal right wing, Doku on the left and still have Semenyo, Tijanni and Savio's replacement to come off the bench.

If he makes it back to form, and injuries are not a major factor, i can see an Arne Slot in Maresca's future.

We just have to rebuild that midfield base.

 

[St.Pauli support]

What a great natural ball strike, we've seen it before!

But I also see what's missing here. Hope the next drill includes a defender as that's his main issue before getting the chance to pull the trigger top bins.

I don't like it, but he also has to learn to draw a foul in a dangerous spot instead of playing on and being bullied time and again.

(And stop waving your arms. Refs don't like it, as fans and players.)

 

[waspish]

I feel he needs to turn off from total football for a month, yes train but without a ball..

He doesn't praise any City players.
