47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Deleted member 81382]

He was good but he's so much better on the left.

Foden getting to the byline and cutting the ball back to Haaland for a tap-in could be a big source of goals for us.

After spending last season as the sacrificial lamb in the false 9 position, I hope Pep doesn't keep switching his position this year too. Nowhere near as impactful on the right. He needs to be in his best position most weeks to see the best from him and that's clearly left wing. Play your best players in their best positions and fill gaps with the rest. Bernardo suffered from his versatility earlier in his career, hope Pep doesn't continue doing it with Foden. Our front 3 when everyone is fit and fresh should more often than not consist of haaland upfront, foden on the left and the other is up for debate.

Needs to be allowed to make the position his own.Its where he plays best.

I believe that front trio could be our best if allowed to develop and form an understanding.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Have to get him back over to the left.

pep is giving grealish a chance to win the left wing spot so jack avoids the press and fans backlash of being benched/underperforming. thats why he found a new position for foden, but yeah, its not ideal

Not really a new position for the lad..he destroyed Liverpool at Anfield a couple of years ago scoring that superb goal,,and was man of the match at Wembley against Villa in the league cup final playing wide right.Foden can play anywhere, and such a gifted ,two footed skilful player is invaluable to any Football Manager... like Pep who likes to keep the oppennent guessing by switching multi talented, versatile players around, fluidly,....it's wonderful to watch,..it's Art of the highest order.
I don't worry about position,....but the opposition do.

Wet spam were run ragged yesterday.

The days of rigid formation are gone..
Relax..and enjoy our players exhibiting the mind of a tactical magician.

Pep is a footballing Genius.

I though Foden had a really good game on the right.

He did. I also watched him interchanging with KDB in the inside right position - a nightmare for any left back in world football.

I must be the only one that thought he was below par yesterday. Ball retention and close control was typically good, I just thought he lacked intent in some situations.

Yes. You are the only one.
