Been saying this for months now but he's going to suffer with Pep moving him every week, happened to Bernardo when Pep changed his role every week and will happen to anybody else too. he's out best wide player, he should not be moved to accommodate others. Get the best players in their best positions and then fill in the gaps.
I get what your saying,but Foden is an intelligent football player and will adapt to position changes ....being two footed helps.
Also,it is a complete nightmare for opposing managers to guess where he will be playing each week which makes their tactical approach very very difficult. Pep likes to confuse oppentents and has to anticipate breaking down well stocked defences each game,...using a multi talented player like Foden in different roles can only help in this regard.
Eventually, Foden ,who,all his life ,has played centre mid...Will end up,,in deep central midfield ,controlling games...he is not yet mature enough to do so at such a high level.That will come.
Pep himself has said as much,I can't find the quote but it was made just over a year ago...
For now,the switching of positions is part of his footballing education,and we are gaining the benefits of his speed of thought,movement and obvious eye for goal.
It is in the later years we will see Foden develop into a complete central
midfield maestro......imo.
