47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[Brightwell Bros.]

Some of the takes on this thread after two games and no pre-season are going to look comical by Christmas.

Ahem.

 

[Manc in London]

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 :)

Fancy that...

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.
