Team tried to give the ball to him as much as they could. The problem is on Foden himself could not hold on the ball. He lost the ball too much, especially in 2nd half. Kev was no better than him. So no one on the right hand side could hold the ball for 2 seconds.There is too much evidence this season that when Foden is on the ball more, we are a better team.
Good commentsGood again. This is what we need from him, it used to be hes either the star or barely involved, we needed him to become a constant threat every game even when hes not scoring or providing and thats currently what he is. Just needs to keep it up. Keep playing him and he'll deliver.
seems to be becoming more one footed though. Would have scored second half had he gone with his right foot instead of bringing the ball onto his left and into traffic.
Playing well but still so much more to come. His upper body is still not physically as developed, so at times he can be bounced a little easily (see Guimaraes yesterday), and he’s still developing the stamina needed in the middle of the park; only tiredness late in the game led to him overhitting that through ball to Haaland. As with Haaland and Doku, Foden is still young and developing, and irrespective of what happens this season, I don’t think we’ve seen anywhere near the best of them yet.
He will end up better than KDB. Ballon d'Or contender.
I’ve no doubt they are, but it will only be after he has played in the middle for a consistent period that he’ll develop the stamina, which is both physical and mental, required in there. It’s not a criticism, just a recognition that he still has aspects of his game that will develop.Stamina. Hmmm, I suspect you will find his distance covered stats are at an elite level.
