Philip Walter “Ronnie” Foden is now the star player at Manchester City!

And now I’m going to criticise him haha

Even with being this unbelievably talented player he’s reached to be so far, he’s got a hell of a lot of improving to do. The main things are with the timing of his shots and his shot placement selection.

He’s scored some beautiful and thunderous goals, and took his goal brilliantly today. But if you look at that shot today after the mesmerising run and set-up by Bernardo; Phil’s got to his it first time! The extra touch wasn’t what was required. There were also games like away in Paris last season and at home to Dortmund, where he was taking multiple shots on too early or taking an extra touch and shooting too late, or shooting at the wrong part of the goal.

But if/when he works on those things (Frank Lampard said he used to stay behind training for hours practising his shooting), you’re taking about someone who is going to win the Balon D’Or. He’s that good!

I fucking love him, so glad he’s a Blue!
Well said mate. I agree that Phil should have first timed the ball from Bernie. The extra touch allowed their keeper to shut down the angle. But that is a minor observation and as you said he will develop his shooting skills with maturity.

Having said that, he had a brilliant game.

My only other comment relates to Phil’s honesty in not going down. I know this is a minority opinion, but I have greater respect for Phil because he plays an honest game. I don’t want him going down like he was shot, from the slightest touch.

It’s up to the spineless refs to crack down on diving. It shouldn’t be the case that Phil has to join the dark side.

Everyone does. But refs cannot miss that call. That an incentive to dive :(
 
He's a winger..he's played well in the middle a few times against lower league sides but average at best against decent teams hence why its not a more common occurrence. He has the potential to be a world class winger why move him to midfield because people want him to be Daves heir.

Grealish is a quality player but a totally unessesary signing.
Rubbish.
Apart from the last line....
