47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

[come-on-barney]

Excellent again today, impacts the game more centrally, but his ability to play multiple positions is a big plus over a season.

I would like to know what others think about this. I find it odd that Phil is being made to play on the wing, even though he has performed exceptionally well in the central position. Moreover, other players who make similar mistakes, such as losing the ball, which Pep has cited as the reason for not playing Phil in midfield, still seem to be chosen over him.

I understand that it's almost blasphemous to question Pep's decisions. However, if Phil were purchased for a significant fee, I would find it hard to believe that Pep would play him in any other position despite being our top-performing attacking midfielder throughout the season.

I cannot believe having been repeating it in every thread for weeks you think it warrants a thread to repeat it again , there is no conspiracy ffs

Being made to play out of position is nothing new - we all know that Bernardo is better centrally than on the wing but he still plays out wide plenty of times. Zinchenko spent his whole City career at left-back (and because Arsenal somehow haven't noticed that he's not a natural defender, he's pretty much now doomed to spend the rest of his career there).

In all fairness, I bet Zinchenko is overjoyed at how his career has panned out.
Turning down a move to Wolves was the best decision he has ever made, trophy cabinet full and I'd imagine his bank balance is well on the way to being extremely healthy, if he'd gone to Wolves chances are he wins nothing and is already back playing football out of the PL.

Short answer is no. And your talking complete bollocks as per usual

[domalino]

15th goal of the season already.

Thats as many as he got all last season and 1 behind his best return for a season.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

A legend already and only 23.
