Goals with first touch are so hard. You need to understand geometry, angles, your body, everything…

This boy Foden is really no joke.

This skinny guy is the only skinny short boy I want on my team. This kid is fucking ruthless. Born from the less priveleged parts of Manchester so he was born not a little wimp. Born a male human with two potent grapes, not born a sucker meaning dumb bad player.

Protect Phil from bad media scrutiny at all costs, and u will have a player that will die for Manchester city until he retires at 43 a beefy, “been to the the gym 25 years - multiple full decades b… don’t play w me like other midfielders in country and in Prem league ”

Stockport is 'posh' compared to a lot of places in Manchester :)
 
Look where he started sprinting from for his second. That's what Pep was talking about after the Sevilla match about always putting a shift in despite not being at his best. Sancho is on the opposite end of that spectrum in that regard.

Just saw that on MotD, that's an astonishing run to get on the end of that pass. Incredible finishing for all 3.

The way he always cleanly directs his first touch goals reminds sooooo much of the player who took a young Phil Foden under his wing — David Silva.

Sensational talent.

Why does Foden scoring 1st touch goals remind you of David Silva?
There is little similar about the two players goal scoring wise.imo

Fodens fantastic back heel finish with his ' weaker' right foot at wolves is in perfect example of Fodens unique talent.

Yesterday he scored ..2 with his left one with his right..,from the right,left and centre of the 6 yard box.awesome

. his movement consistency and confidence in scoring with either foot from any position makes Foden unique .a completely different case to David Silva.

Think he'll be close to 20 league goals this season, seems to have more of an eye for goal.

Easily imo, maybe a lot more.

Even now he has surprisingly scored more goals in less games than fake ron did for utd at the same age.

And 22 seems to be the age where most top players in the past really start to fly in goal scoring terms..except for Haaland that is, who just has fucking insane numbers for his age!
 
It seemed like he was taking out all of his frustration on the Rags. Glorious. Anyone know who was the last Manc to score a hat-trick in a derby?! Me neither.
 
Goal scoring wise please don’t be
mentioning sidewards and backwards in the same breath as Foden
 
He needs to play on the right with KDB regularly and develop that understanding with him, when to pause, when to pass, who goes on the overlap. Jack and Bernardo on the left the same. That looks like our best midfield at the moment with Rodri and Haaland at the back and in front of them.

Yep it’s where he has played coming up through all his career right and occasionally midfield

Yep. As much as I love Merlin, scoring goals wasn't close to being his main attribute.

Foden was incredible yesterday and my man of the match, which is some going when you consider how well Haaland played. He was all over the pitch and put in a serious shift in defence as well as in attack.

Silva with Foden's finishing would be (close to) Messi.
 
i wonder if the contract issue being sorted now is a weight of phil`s mind? He seemed happier yesterday with a spring in his step?

Very true. Foden is amazing, but not at silvas level (yet). Dave was the best tempo player I’ve seen in a blue shirt. He controlled games on his own. Knew when to speed it up, slow it down. (I sound like Buck’s Fizz - for you older lot). I think Phil can get there though. Generational talent and we have 3 of em!

Oh how it feels to be city!
 
Fodens best 2 games for us have come against Liverpool and United, games where he played on the right rather than the left. Hopefully Jack can sort his form out and nail down that left hand side to give is the option for foden on thr right
