47 | Phil Foden - 2022/23

[mccity]

He does look like he's possibly about to hit a new level.

Definitely the only player in these last three games to at least have a case for playing in the two cup finals.

 

[Tevez City]

Can he play Bellingham role ?

 

[TrentGrisham]

Can he play Bellingham role ?

He can... Bellingham has a bit more steel to him defensively, though. He's much more an out-and-out attacking midfielder IMO.

 

[SalfordGrimble]

Would start him RW against United

 

[Claytop]

I’d start him against United.

Missed seeing a player whose first action is to turn forward, that half turn he constantly does is just a delight to watch, we just don't see that when he's on the wing.

With kdb now well into his 30's and foden 23 with 5 titled under his belt, next season is surely the time for us to start seeing him more centrally. Doesn't need to be every week but should certainly be an option.

The problem is, were currently using alvarez in that role too to get him games. Wouldn't mind seeing alvarez feature put wide a bit more, especially if it meant we saw phil central more.

Back to his best,easily the MOTM,literally on another level at time yesterday as his thinking and play was too quick for his teammates.

The hunger in his game is also so impressive,i think we have to use that next week.

 

[Tevez City]

I’d start him against United.

In which position ?

 

[KdeB_17]

In which position ?

kevs position if grealish is fit and kev not 100%

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

MOTM every time he plays recently, hope he plays both finals.

Love phil but it has to be the team that played Madrid our strongest imo

 

[Craig]

Little frustrating in a game like yesterday that he wasn’t played centrally. Let’s face it Palmer is never going to be the answer for us in that position. So seems a bit daft not giving Phil more time centrally when the opportunity is there to do so.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Love phil but it has to be the team that played Madrid our strongest imo

It was our strongest because Phil wasn't fit.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

It was our strongest because Phil wasn't fit.

Who do you put phil in place of in our strongest fittest 11? Dont say bernardo

 

[JewelZee]

In which position ?

Wide on the right.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Who do you put phil in place of in our strongest fittest 11? Dont say bernardo

Ok i wont.

Gundo.

 

[JewelZee]

I'll say it. But I'd also play Bernardo over Gundo v Inter. Bernardo is simply more effective v European competition. Gundo gets the nod v United.

 

[Jack74]

I would pick him weather that means I can’t play one of the following so be it Bernardo, Gundogen or Jack just my thoughts

Agree.

Sadly for Phil, he's ultimately competing with De Bruyne, B. Silva and Grealish for a place in our 11. De Bruyne is the best player, alongside Gerrard, to have played in the Premier League. Bernardo Silva is absolutely world-class, the definition of it when he's on song, and Grealish is someone who allows space for the likes of Haaland and has quickly become a vital cog in the machine.

But with KDB slowing down and Bernardo probably on his way out, next season could be a huge one for Phil.
