47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[city warrior]

Much better today. Some really good crosses and good link-up play with Alvarez and Gundo. That's the way to go

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Great game today and another assist

 

[Akira]

Played well even when put on LWB, even managed an assist.

Anyone notice he was playing nicely with Gomez and Alvarez but I think it’s best for the left footed full back to stay on the left. It just flows better in my opinion.

Better from Phil today. Good assist.

Better from Phil today. Good assist.

I think it helps having players around him who play at the same pace and energy as him. You can see Alvarez and foden playing at a similar pace

2nd half was very un-Pep like. Off-the-cuff…just play. No surprise that Foden plays like that.

I love Pep. For me the best manager in history. However, I can’t help but think sometimes his demand for structure sometimes hamstrings some players. Foden needs some level of freedom to express himself. I’d rather it didn’t take us being 2-0 for it to happen, but ok.

That too. The quick one touch passes were great. Gomez particular did that a lot. Pass and move. It wasn’t the usual patient build up. It’s fun to watch.

His crossing was much better 2nd half, and was basically a wingback.

I'm surprised when Gomez was subbed on that Foden didn't go midfield with Gomez wide, wonder if Pep will just interchange these 2.

 

[oldius]

Much better...quietly focussed and diligent.

Alvarez definitely relieved a lot of pressure from him
