#47 | Phil Foden - 2021/22 Performances

It still seems to me that because of his talent, his ability to affect the game from any position he’s being utilised in a way to facilitate players not as good as him.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Hes crowded out as a false 9 it’s as simple as that ,

even when he drops deep while meant to be playing there you can see how much more comfortable he is

Agree 100%. Currently it should be Foden wide left and Mahrez wide right because of his G/A output. The others should be fighting it out for that false 9 spot.

Gave the ball away a few times tonight. Not his best game.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

He was brilliant on the left wing last season especially in the CL run

Could also play the Bernardo or Gundogan roles now I think

he’s wasted in the false 9 a lot of the time

 

[argyle]

More haircuts than good games recently.

Not been bad just hasn't been one of the best players like he was earlier in the season and last.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Please get him back on the left Pep. Wasted in the false 9 role. He's the best left winger we've got, get him in his best position and let somebody else fill that role.

 

[wolfie1988]

Hiding to nothing. Needs to see the ball with players in front of him, not with his back to goal against 2 giants.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

I know it was only Andorra, but he played in a central midfield role for England earlier in the season and was superb
His range and weight of passing

 

[SSL2]

Last season he was imposing himself on games but he seems to be going missing quite often this year. Wonder if it's the position he's playing or a drop in form

Bit of both I think. Clearly better on the left wing but idk something has seemed off with him in recent weeks. Must’ve had half a dozen different haircuts since his last decent performance (not that that matters) but he needs to get his head down & focus on his football again.
