47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

He’s well up for it this season, he really has stepped up!

The sort of thing we were begging from Sterling and Jesus after DSilva and Agüero left but never really happened. But with Gundogan and Mahrez gone and de Bruyne out, he’s grown and looks like he’s got the belief in his own ability to become the next pivotal player in attack.
 
Not really involved from the left, so a smart decision to switch him with Doku after about 20 minutes. With Walker providing the width on the right he was able to drop into space more centrally and get on the ball more

He sometimes feels like the reverse Álvarez, in the sense that Julian often doesn't look like a great player but still puts up great numbers, and Phil always looks like such a natural talent but is frustratingly just off with his final ball or shot

He influences the game far more than the stats show, though. Like late on at 4-1 up he still sprinted back full pelt to help break up a Fulham attack. He's definitely feeling it this season

This all day everyday. Much more involved and threatening every time he plays in the middle. We don't start KDB out wide so no idea why we do with Foden. He's by far our most creative player in the absence of Kev. Kovacic seems to get to start where he wants but created very little today.
 
Keep him clear of the left wing Pep and let the lad gain confidence instead of switching him about all the time. Thorn we will have a truly world class player.
