47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

Always saying that Phil can be a very good right winger! And he finally can cut in the middle to affect the game more than cross from the left.

IMO Jack and Phil benefit each other because they both carry enough threat and can receive/carry the ball. It gives the opposite too much to worry about.

I think it definitely helps when fullbacks are on their natural side, for me personally the balance of cancelo on the left reduces the impact of the wide player in front of him

Was bang on it tonight. He probably knows he's not been as influential but he worked hard on and off the ball and was brilliant. Second youngest Englishman to 10 CL goals, not bad for a midfielder. Many more to come too I'm sure.

Some way short of what he is capable of so far this season. But I'm confident that he will rediscover his form of the previous couple of seasons. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Now; far be it for me to say "I told you so", but....

this is the most important reason

Pep was pretty blunt saying he hadn’t played well recently. I think that’s clear to see but he’s also right there n that an off form Phil still works and helps the team function. Probably not the case with all our wingers.

I think some underestimate the impact that Haaland's introduction to the team has had on Foden's game. He has to play differently than he has done as now we has to link with a true No9 rather than a midfielder coming late into the box or the opposite winger popping up on the far post.

It is also worth noting that he didn't play any games during pre-season.

 

[jimharri]

Right; he's been outed as a rag. Sell him.
