47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

[Kippax Street 1880]

It is staggering how neither Bellend nor Rice are prepared to pass the ball to Phil. It’s almost like they are in a “Who’s the best” contest and they know they are losing.

Rice was much better in this regard last night at least, Bellingham was still doing it, he's played for himself all tournament. Can't stand the prick!

This is the problem Phil has when he’s playing for England. Rice is useless

 

[WestGorton]

Phil, Mainoo,vand Saka look good together. No agenda.

This is the problem Phil has when he’s playing for England. Rice is useless

Rice gets praised a lot for carrying the ball but it does seem like a lot of the time it's because he's unsure of what to do with it

 

[The Black Shed]

Wonder how many times Bellingham has actually passed to Foden in the entire tournament?

 

[domalino]

This is really cool analysis

 

[Claytop]

This is really cool analysis

A reason Messi isn't on the list of scanners?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Another good analysis of Foden being on a completely different level to his teammates.

Or because the opponents know he's usually heading nowhere and guide him until he's about to go down a dead end, so he turns back and makes the safe pass, sideways.
