47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Hart of the Matter]

Don't remember him getting the ball under control once last night. Crap pitch and conditions but he seemed off it. Hope he is back on it for Everton. In Phil we trust!

 

[Rolo]

It's a weird one with Phil. Even though he's popped up with some important goals, I actually think his general play has gone backwards this season. He just doesn't look as sharp as previous seasons to me.

Just a blip in form i think. Foden on his day is a world class player. It's as simple as that. He'll come good sooner or later, no worries.

Although I agree, it seems to be an extended blip. The really good performances have been the exception this season. I think this really is the fork in the road -

does he stay at current level, which is bloody good but on par with someone like Sane, or

Does he kick on and elevate himself into a truly world class player?

We'll see

The answer is on his neck mate. Depends how much he wants it.

Totally agree with you.
The lad is just back from the World Cup and still learning his trade playing a system Pep wants.
Imho he should have been the focal point of the England side playing off Kanes shoulder.

Foden's biggest challenge right now is nailing down a settled position as an automatic starter.

15-30 minutes playing time since the world cup and seen virtually nothing of the ball, so I really am surprised that anyone can make judgements about Foden.
It's about as valid as saying that Alvarez is a lazy twat who's done nothing for us since winning the World Cup, and he can go out on loan in January as he's just not pulling his weight.

He needs to play. All this stop start with him isnt doing him any favours.

He was in and out of form before the world cup though.
