#47 | Phil Foden - 2019/20 Performances

[grim up north]

Surely he warrants more than 14 minutes.

He played Tuesday was a tad naive his mentor is playing well

So did a much more experienced pro who got sent off today...

I would say a goal threat only as an individual. Merlin provides a bigger goal threat in other ways imo.
Obviously a very talented lad, but he will need many years to develop the nouse Merlin has

Not sure about this.Silva played 90 mins today and created 3 goal scoring chances.Foden did the same in 14 mins.
Fodens goal acoring as an individual almost matches Silvas over the past 12 months despite his fleeting 1st team appearances.

What is without doubt today is that both Silva and Kdb obviously played their part in in wearing down a resolute villa side ,thereby possibly paving the way for Fodens effective cameo performance.

He can now replace anyone without weakening the team.

There's no need to rush.

He'll definitely play mid-week and potentially against next weekend. Really hope he uses this time to nail his spot.

 

[big gaz]

We have to be wary though, Foden looked amazing again but how will he do against a parked bus consistently? Villa were already down and out by the time he came on.

Probably struggle like the rest of the team did in the first half, or maybe he's the key ?

Hopefully the latter haha

I think he brings an urgency and desire to impress that would be very helpful in those games when we look slow and uninspired like the first half yesterday, but of course the catch-22 is that you never know when one of those slow starts is going to come.

I love his energy and enthusiasm. He’s a very exciting player and just what we need at the moment.
