47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[nicko]

He’s been on the bench so much it’s not surprising his form (and confidence) have taken a hit. He didn’t deserve the lack of playing time he’s been given since the derby. And he’s the guy who gets moved positions time and again. Not saying he’s playing well but the reasons for it aren’t entirely of his own making. Pep hasn’t helped him at all.

i also dont think phil has helped himself at all neither hes not exactly pulled up trees when given the games he was given liverpool away and refused to take on milner. I also think the dig from pep about body language at the players i feel he is one of them..... i do find it suspicious though that our best front line of grealish haaland foden hasnt played since the derby which was probably our last stand out performace i feel like phils best position this season has been on the right. i also think peps managing his minuted more ready for this second half of crazy season because if i remember correctly i think it was before a cl game he was one of the players that complained of tiredness

Dreadful tonight, watching him and Phillips tonight you would never guess that they are England internationals

 

[Keeper!]

The guy is developing a bad attitude, staring to think he is the man and hence why he has hardly featured in the last 3 months.

Needs to get his head out of his arse and and concentrate on his football, leave the haircuts and bling to the idiots.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Needs to start impacting games more,taking a game by the scruff,showing aggression and desire,and leading from the front.

That first half was a fucking mess,it needed a leader and Foden was nowhere to be seen.....it isn't acceptable.

Piss poor again from Phil, with the exception of the derby, I can't recall the last time he influenced a game.
He's been given a go in central midfield and I think he's failed miserably, no idea what's going on with him, but he's a shadow of the player and the level I expected.

 

[blueju]

Had high hopes for Foden and bought into the hype of a once in a generation player.

Looks anything but an over hyped, average English player right now.

Certainly doesn't dictate games or is the difference in the side to win.

Pep seems to have kicked the creativity out of him and just made a player that passes back.

You could say that about a few players, all attacking instincts gone in the name of keeping the ball.

 

[Agueroooo9320]

only attacker who tried today

 

[blue cigar]

Still playing it very safe but I do think the derby will bring the best out of him, when he's playing well his movent is his main weapon.

Needs to be played in his preferred position

We just need to work out what that is
