#47 | Phil Foden - 2021/22 Performances

[Kamaro011]

People tend to forget that he is still 21 years old, he is still developing and maturing as a player. That's the reason of why there still inconsistency and that's great for him. It will be good for him if he experiences this kind of period of inconsistency, it provide a great learning experience if he ever overcome that problem and fullfill all his potential as a great player like we all expect him to be.

All our wing players do that on instructions of pep

Your right. Just feels like compared to last season he’s doing it less. Reckon he would have got past the real right back pretty easily

Both Grealish and sterling can't do better than him tbf
Didn't disappear and was a major threat to Madrid all night.

He certainly could have but the one time he did he still passed it back to De Bruyne...and we scored. It is how Pep wants us to play. Keep the ball and play the percentages.

If we were chasing the game he might be more expansive. He still showed a lot of quality.

Got a goal too and now has more than any other English player had managed for his age. Not bad. Let's hope he can go and get another in the away leg and then maybe the winner in the final!

Indeed,and while it eventually(hopefully) leads to an end product,its also incredibly limiting,frustrating and tedious.
I think he,along with 3 or 4 others,are being overly restricted with such tactic,and it isn't getting the best out of them.

I'd love us,on more regular occasion,to just go for the jugular and let our quality in the final 3rd settle the result.

Fabrizio in "Stating the bleeding obvious" sensation

Brilliant today as per. Different player when he plays central midfield not false 9

 

[Bad Santa]

That dribble in the first half was a thing of beauty! When he plays central, I think that will be the norm for him for years to come. Lovely assist for Jesus also.

Would like to see him graduate to being an 8 next season.
