47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Taylor]

I think Phil had a good game overall. People will focus on the 1 on 1 but over than that he generally played well. Just the odd mistake in the final third/bit of luck but other than that his overall play was decent.

 

[Millennium]

He had a good game in overall and in comparison to his recent form.But, he contributed to the final result. That chance could have been aneasy goal if he passed the ball to Haland.

The way Haaland played it wasn't an easy goal

Is a big issue for Foden more than others but Haaland was as guilty as any if not more yesterday

Why? Maharez had been more consistent this season.

Mahrez was terrible at the start of the season. He only played well twice (Southampton h, Brighton h) before the World Cup and everyone was saying how much of a terrible idea it was to give him a new contract.

He came back after the Summer out of shape and any game he started he was blowing out of his arse and did sod all. He only scored one Prem goal and got no Prem assists before the WC.

Foden was brilliant at the start of the season and had a poor Winter. He was very good for a first game back from injury yesterday, apart from that daft moment.

There’s so much revisionism goes on in these player threads, it’s ridiculous.

The way Haaland played yesterday there was as much chance of him skying it or diving than scoring.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Foden was our most dangerous player for large parts of the game,his zip and tenacity were in full flow and even Forest efforts to double up on him were proving fruitless.
The obvious thing that let him down was final ball/decision making.....but that does appear to be a team thing,something all are guilty of,rather than an individual issue - if there are two choices,we generally make the wrong one.

It was very encouraging to see him play so well,he will be a big plus in the latter parts of this crazy season.

 

[argyle]

His performance summed up the teams. Played really well and looked almost back to the best - but fucked up with the scoring.

 

[simon23]

Played well yesterday for the most part

FWIW I think he got caught in two minds with the run through on goal....he hesitated and then messed it up.....it looked like in the end he tried to pass to Haaland but got it completely wrong.....could put it down to a lack of match sharpness as well but it was just a mistake and his ovrall game play was decent.....

 

[clarion]

Overall play was decent right before the final action in the final third where he made quite a few mistakes in decision making.

Mahrez subbed at 60th min is decent. Phil played great.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Looked good to me. Unlucky with the pass to haaland - he was clearly looking to play it and play to right, but just lost balance. Just lacking that little bit of match sharpness cost him I think
