Foden at the moment is at his best when out wide, just as Silva was at his age.He and Torres are young enough, that I actually like that Pep plays them across the front 3 (LW, 9, RW).
The downside is that they don't master a position, but their young and they should be in a "learning phase", learning how to play across the front 3 is far better for their development as they become smarter footballers.
Overtime they can nail down a position, but if they need to go into another spot, they will have then grown enough as a player that it's not a huge issue, they are still attacking positions of course (it's not like the difference in what is required is that big between them, even if the space is).
Fully agree, but think playing him as a false 9 every now and then is good for his development too.Foden at the moment is at his best when out wide, just as Silva was at his age.
As we saw today he is deceptively quick
I think the point is that they are not just stuck to one position. It is just a front 3, all interchanging, dropping in and out of positions. Like his Barca team of old e.g. Henry, Messi, Villa, Pedro and so forth. Torres, Foden, Sterling and Jesus is an exciting group of players that can play anywhere across the front line.He and Torres are young enough, that I actually like that Pep plays them across the front 3 (LW, 9, RW).
