47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

[SouthernPlastic]

He’s definitely upped the consistency past few games. Started to run the whole game like Kev does.

Going from being a boy to a man?

Good video on phil.



Easy premise, give Phil the ball more and we win.

I think this guy does really nice, level headed tactical breakdowns. Even when things don’t appear to be going “well,” he kind of helps explain what Pep might be trying to do.

 

[OB1]

Phil has been extraordinary all season long. I mean, the guy gets MOTM 3/4 times he plays this season. Giving him a CM role has been a revelation. Imagine the KDB, Rodri, and Foden midfield...

I think we will see that in some games but Pep will keep rotating players both in and out and between positions.

Top top player!

It's perhaps easier to see how good De Bruyne is because he tends to be playing Hollywood passes, so you have a few seconds to appreciate the skill.

Foden regularly has touches and passes that are just as impressive, but they're so often first touches in tight areas, where the ball is with another player before you have time to take anything in. It can take a slow motion replay to show just how ridiculous his touch was, and that he's playing at a level that very few players in the World are capable of.

He did something yesterday that I can’t even describe and the speed at which he did it was phenomenal.

the biggest question going into 2024 is who is going to the bench when kev is fully back and firing

just hope thats not foden and they can co-exist together

When we're playing three games a week, the attacking players almost never play every game.

Bernardo, Foden and Alvarez could all do with playing less than they have in the first half of the season.

of course, but im talking about our best lineup going into the biggest matches, last season it was pretty clear which was the best lineup.

Still a couple of cranks not able to see what’s right in front of them.
Poetry in motion this kid.
