#47 | Phil Foden - 2020/21 Performances

[M18CTID]

It means from the quality of chances Foden has had, he is expected to have scored 6.8 goals. The fact that Foden has scored 13 highlights how clinical he is.

Indeed. One of my faves was that goal away at Chelsea. It slipped under the radar a bit because of KDB’s work in the build-up but the finish from Foden was terrific, slotting it in at the near post when there was very little room between keeper and post to aim at. I’ve noticed he scores a fair few goals by placing them at the near post rather than going across the keeper. Like the one the other night of course. It’s some skill to keep doing it as like I said there’s usually less space to aim for.

13 goals from 6.8 xG this season. Incredible.

It's 9 from 6.8 - PL and CL only.

Presumably you've got it from FBref with domestic cup goals included but no xG for domestic cups.

Phil is celebrating his 21st birthday weekend playing football in Istanbul.

His birthday present to himself and all City fans is a MOTM performance and a big fuck off cup as City win the Champions League final and complete the historic quadruple.

It's written in the stars I tell you and it's not even that far fetched. It's going to be emotional - I know I'll be crying again like I did with 93.20. What a few weeks ahead of us...

It'll also be the birthday weekend for Cancelo, Walker, Stones, and Laporte too! DESTINY!

I must be honest, firing his social media team over that one tweet seems a bit weird. I get why Foden may be upset by it but I found the tweet to rather mild; we've seen much worse tweets from many others.


Either Foden has zero tolerance for this kind of stuff (fair enough if so) or there's more to this than we knew. It's possible this was the straw that broke the camel's back.


It'll be interesting to see if he moves onto a different social media team now or gives himself permanent control on the matter.

I thought it was a proper strange tweet, do they even know each other personally for a start? Not surprised Foden has gotten rid.

He's been taking note after all these years watching Sergio. The master of the near post finish!

If Carlsberg did birthday parties ;)

Yeah, I saw that. If it turns out that Phil did give it the go ahead, and still "sacked" his social media team, that won't reflect well on him. Not the tweet itself, that's very small potatoes compared to some of what you see on there. More particularly someone else taking the blame for something he okayed. Just to repeat, if he did give approval.

The client probably signs a contract at the start, allowing them to post for him and he leaves it to the media company thereafter. I doubt they need approval for individual posts. For the company, it’s a balancing act of knowing their client and making themselves look good for the exposure they get for him. In this case, the company and client not a good fit, I don’t think it’s any more than that.
