Ha ha… absolutely ended that discussion there.

That's what I meant Messi has better pace on the ball . Also I would say Grealish has better ball control than Foden
which is why he is a better dribbler.

there is no one way to dribble. both ways are effective. but like I said Foden's dribbling is most effective form inside to outside while Jack's is most effective from outside to inside.

I dont think the general public have realised yet that he's arguably our best player already and he's 21 and the players he is outshining are the best squad in world football.

He needs to find his shooting boots again because that will really elevate him from the pack, but otherwise he is only 1 or 2 performances in prime time games before he's getting Ballon d'Or shouts from across Europe.

totally agree, many city fans will say Foden is our best player. He might not be putting in the best performances but really thats because he is so good he isnt playing in any one position. He's being used to fill gaps because he can reliably play pretty much anywhere in the front 6.
In a season or two when he gets that little bit more experience and he makes a position how own he will take off to new levels. we are so lucky.

Biggest blessing in a long while that they were coaxed into resigning ronaldo, it automatically stunted Greenwood’s development, who red or not, is a potential worldy!

Greenwood as a 9 in our team would score for fun.

 

[coliotte]

dribbling is overrated look at KDB
simple touches play fast pass/cross in perfect timing and you have a world class midfielder

Not right now, but maybe in the future.

I think he is obviously a great finisher, but lacks the positioning awareness strikers develop, I think he usually scores cutting in from the right.

He also seems kind of lazy, and doesn't have the hussle a striker in our system would need.

But again, with his age, I would 100% take a prospect like him no doubt. But he's at United so fuck him lol.

This highlights reel is like when you see YouTube compilations of talented South American’s destroying average players in their native countries leagues before they get plucked and put in a top European league where they realise they won’t get away with that shit anymore. You literally never see any fucker flair dribbling like that in the premier league.. why? Because you have to be really special to do it. He’s so very, very talented.

He’s still testing the water as to what he can do and is growing in confidence as he gets more experience at this level. Due to his age and current physicality, I see at least another two noticeable jumps in his performs levels. And he’s already one of the best players in the league as it is imo. He could very easily go on to be the best player the premier league era has seen.

I think ive watched every game hes ever played for the first team and watching that video just reminded me how fucking good he is.

I think I sometimes dont give him enough credit. Phil is from the academy, he grew up a city fan and the fact he is even being mentioned in the conversation with the best players in the world is incredible. Feels like the Jimmy Grimble story come to life.

 

[eastmanc]

He is a brilliant talent. For me the first name on the team sheet.
