47 | Phil Foden - 2023/24

[Goater=Legend]

Far better team when hes allowed to float, hes waited long enough Pep.

 

[super_city_si]

gets absolutely fucked over by Pep. Complete waste of a talent sticking him wide, especially after his performaces in the middle.

 

[Stelea]

Much better when Pep switched him into the centre.
Who knew hey?
Got to stop this rubbish wasting him out wide.

 

[come-on-barney]

He mustn’t be a happy lad, being moved out for these tactics. Scores a hat trick and we move him out wide again, to accommodate the poor midfield selection. Odd.

I just don't understand why we play the most talented young number 10 possibly in Europe out wide to accommodate Julian Alvarez.

I understand Pep's logic.

If I want to play these 5 attackers, this is where they have play.

And I agree, Julian would be even more woeful out wide whereas Phil can atleast do a job there.

But I disagree that it has to be those 5.

Drop Julian, Foden middle. Bobb wide.

That being said, we created enough for Haaland to win that game 2-1.

We do not have a proper right wing, Pep has no other option other than tinkering with Foden or Bernardo.

I agree with nearly all of your post except that Alverez can't play wide. He did that job at River quite a lot or ami wrong on that one .

I dont believe he ever did.

He is too slow, or lacks the dribbling to do it anyways.

I think you're right .
