47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

[Goldust]

Looked a level above and we need to stop shunting him out wide.

 

[supercity88]

Seems to be a lot fitter than in previous campaigns, whether a result of starting more regularly or a real desire to be in top shape, it's paying off. If he's one of the fittest on the pitch then there's no stopping him as his talent and technical ability on the ball coupled with that will see him dominate plenty of games for us. It could also just be a more disciplined approach to his play - not sprinting for everything trying to prove himself, choosing his moments in a David Silva style and retaining energy for when he needs it.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We should have sent him on loan when we had chance, wonder if it’s too late.

Send him to Donny Rovers on loan, far too small and lightweight to make it at Citeh.

 

[SamBlue]

He looks much fitter and capable for holding off defenders on longer runs. He's been turning into a proper top 1% player, I just worry he started receiving 'Hazard treatment' on a regular basis. He was smashed twice against Bou without even given a foul by the ref.

What a beauuuty from Phil

 

[Lauz9888]

Lovely goal and very good all round today.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Imagine when Southgate doesn’t pick Foden in the summer to start.

*goals!

For the second goal he got 3 yards past Casemiro over about 5 yards. He’s a lot quicker than people credit him for.

Imagine when Southgate doesn’t pick Foden in the summer to start.

But he will. All the papers (who always know what Southgate is going to do) are pretty convinced he’s going for Foden-Kane-Saka front 3, Bellingham behind and Rice in midfield with a midfield partner who is the only pick still up in the air. Trippier-Maguire-Stones-Walker will be the back 4 and Pickford in goal.
