47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

Just like Jack tonight. Space in front of him but he goes right with the ball.

I wish Pep would let him run at the full back.

Drove me mad at one point in the 2nd half. We were doing everything to try and stretch them and got him one on one with fullback with Haaland in the middle. Turned back and either played it square or to Ake

I’m slightly concerned about his fitness. Pep has mentioned it and TBH I thought it was just an excuse. However, I thought he looked knackered after being on for 30 mins. I know we were down to 10 men but surely he can manage 30 mins without looking dead on his feet. More concerning is how he is likely to be handled at the WC. We can’t get 2 games a week out of him but that won’t stop Southgate running him into the ground.

That must be Peps direction to them. Raz Mahrez Grealish Foden all joining into the great pass back show.

Feels like peps tactics are holding him back a bit. He can easily take on players, but he seems reluctant and always seems to pass it back.

Pep’s mantra……..don’t lose or give the ball away…….

I'm getting frustrated with Phil similar as I am with Jack, I know it's Peps philosophy keep the ball and stretch teams, the problem I'm having is it's every time in every game, stop pass sideways or backwards, rinse and repeat, it's boring.
The sad thing is when they do drive at defences we're a totally different team, look at the derby when they both shredded the scums fullbacks.

 

[Phil1]

Our set up might be stifling his individuality but unfortunately for him he will have to get used to it whilst Pep is in charge. The team is the most important thing and it’s not done us too bad so far.

Pep hates chaos.

He looked fucked 5 mins after coming in. Was pissed off that He gave up the chase on ball in the channel that he could have kept in.
