Ridiculous goal. It’s like watching messi at times

I’ve said this before, but sounding without like a deluded, bias blue, Phil can become our own Messi. Messi kept improving and he wasn’t just the wonderkid who could dribble past a few players, he became the heartbeat of the team who could pretty much do anything with a football. I often watch Foden and think there’s an extra few levels he can kick on to, there’s more to him than we’ve seen so far. Tonight’s goal gave a glimpse of it. I’m not expecting Phil to be a better player than Messi, that would be a pretty mad statement to make, but a lot of Phils attributes remind me of him.

Pep could have another monster of a player in a season or two.
 
Goal of the season. Amazing to think that in our all conquering team of world class stars he’s the go to man now - like if it were injury time in the CL final and we need a goal, who else would you rather be on the ball in the final third than Phil.
 
Good performance in a team of underperformers. To think a 20 year old should have come off that pitch disappointed in his teammates for not being at his level!

That was a much more difficult finish than I'd realised all things considered.

I don't know...he only had to pick the ball up in his own half, beat a man, run the length of their half amd bang it in the bottom corner from a wide angle. I can think of at most one other player who could have done that!

In all seriousness the finish alone would have been quality like you say. Very tough to find the angle to beat the keeper and find the corner. He sort of poked at it in full knowledge of what he was doing. The preceeding play was sensational too of course.
 
Not to put too much weight on his shoulders but for me he looks like the most likely player to overtake David Silva as our best ever player.

Imagine winning the CL at 21 then going into the Euros as the first name on the team sheet!
