47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[The Stockport Iniesta]

If City can get the job done this weekend, I want to see Foden play in the middle of the pitch against Brighton and Brentford for the whole 90.

So do I. He's in my FPL team :)

We have to start playing Phil there more often as he’s the only one with the creativity to take up Kevs mantle (long live the king). They’re not identical though so will have to play different. I don’t think Phil has the same powerful runs and physicality, nor the same quality in a long range pass. However he’s a better dribbler and his line splitting passes are sublime.

In time who knows, maybe he will have it all. Cracking cameo though.

What a beautiful pass that was for alvarez's goal. Very much from the david silva school of wizardry.

Not for a second suggesting pep got it wrong or anything obviously but i think we would have had an even more emphatic night if phil had started on the left. Carvajal was just a walking red waiting to happen if somebody went at him, all you have to do against him is go down the outside and he's done.

Came on and made an impact, cant ask for more. If we are to win everything, the bench will be key to it. Having a fit and sharp foden, alongside mahrez and alvarez gives us plenty of attacking options

Now thats how to make an entrance.......what a pass,what a player!

A start on Sunday.

Encouraging that Pep has been using him more centrally lately, even if as a sub. Looks ready made for that spot

That pass was like prime Merlin

It was like he was shooting it with a pool cue. I've never seen anyone do that with a football before. I slight backspin to keep it on the pitch and perfectly timed for Julian to finish it. Absolute magic.

Phil “No Look” Foden.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Top class for the fourth goal. He was brilliant at Everton too. Unlucky to be kept out the team right now but that's just because Grealish and Bernardo are playing so well. Could still play a big part yet

 

[Tevez City]

Couldn't care about Bellingham, IF Gundogan didn't renew then let Foden play more in the middle.

I think he’ll play the d.silva role and we need to bring in a kev replacement . When i say ‘replacement’, thats impossible as i think hes our greatest ever player. But a player who drives forward

I believe there is a 17 year old brummie knockin about
