47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Keeper!]

This lad has enough talent to win multiple balon d'ors. I just hope he switches gears soon.

No chance, he needs to wear a red or white shirt and play for a team with istory.

 

[CatMan]

I bet Foden could make a faur fist of being a left full back given the opportunity!

 

[DATOIA]

Maybe, Foden will be our new Cancelo as a "False LB" :D

Grealish will finally get decent overlapping left footed player on the left wing and it may make team more solid.

But.. there is one big BUT..

Why Phil has to adapt.. Last year he had to play False9 mostly, due to reason that club bought Jack. If we consider how good Phil was in 20 / 21 as a LW, he should have stayed there and continued..

This year now, there is a big chance he will play LB.. Of course learning process will make him stronger and more positions he learns, better will become, but it's interesting how Phil reacts to such kind of changes around him..

LB role incoming...will be the next "unhappy" player

He could certainly play wingback if we played a back five. I remember Paul Lake doing that a few times and he played in lots of positions. Foden has the pace and passing ability.

 

[RayCTID]

I wouldn't like to rely on Foden as wingback for very long to be honest (even if he had started off in that role)

Will get pellets for this but don’t think he has kicked on anywhere near where we thought he would: by now he should be dominating games like silva did. The lad is far from the brightest and best behaved either and I think he is real danger of going right off the rails. In my opinion giving him a 5/6 year contact was a mistake. Done virtually nothing for nearly 3 months. Pep clearly not impressed. Hope I am wrong.

 

[RayCTID]

To be honest Foden still has time on his side to turn it around if he really wants to.

Partying too much?

I know he was an utter arsehole to a friend of my neice in a shop. I won't say what happened as there are some on here that get ultra defensive over some City players.

Hope he drops the hangers on and distances himself from some of his extended family and gets his act together.
