Bernie and Phil give us energy, dynamism and much needed drive. Both should be in the team nearly every match and in recent weeks they have been, which in my humble opinion is good for the team, it gives us a more balanced and controlled look.It's great to see additional swagger creeping into his game of late.
Moments like the dribble after the corner vs. Monchengladbach (plus no look assist), more shooting on sight vs. Everton, etc.
I think he's starting to understand his importance in the team and taking the safety off a little bit.
Clearly he had to get to Bernardo levels of possession football to earn his place initially, but now he's nailed that his natural flair can start to take over in the right moments.
Absolutely love the way he plays.
One thing, or two things I should say, is that Phil go’s past past players better that Dave did and he is more of a goal threat, Phil has a thunderous shot, as we all know,which Spanish Dave didn’t really have. This is not to have a go at Silva, he was and is a brilliant footballer, but to point out that they are very different playersI think you don't have to look much further than what Pep said. He has everything needed to be considered one of the game's true elite players, and all that's missing is the ability to dictate the tempo of games like David Silva did. This can only be developed via experience on the pitch and through an accumulation of games, but it will eventuly come, and when it does, we'll have the best midfielder/attacking forward in the game.
That's sort of the point I was making: Foden is on another level from a purely attacking point of view, but he doesn't have that ability to control the tempo of a game yet. Another way if putting it is imagine David Silva with the attacking prowess Foden - that could be Foden in a few years.One thing, or two things I should say, is that Phil go’s past past players better that Dave did and he is more of a goal threat, Phil has a thunderous shot, as we all know,which Spanish Dave didn’t really have.

They have got Jordan Ibe and Macheda, I am sure they will be alright.It must kill the media that he isn’t a rag or a dipper!
He’ll be one of the worlds best, and he’s one of our own, brilliant!
Don't forget Brewster and JanuzajThey have got Jordan Ibe and Macheda, I am sure they will be alright.
Yaya Toure dictated the tempo of most games i saw him play.I think you don't have to look much further than what Pep said.
