47 | Phil Foden - 2024/25

Is that not what he did last season? He won us the league in my view and outperformed everyone other than Rodri

I think he's a different player when he's surrounded by senior pros that are at the top of their own game.

Maybe he is a one season wonder?

He’s been great in quite a few seasons though and has put in some excellent performances in some our biggest games

Couldn’t you say that about all of our players though. Haaland for instance is much better when he has a world class creative player behind him

Which he probably won’t have after this season

You could do but Fodens role should be to take control of the game or make things happen.

He should be demanding the ball all the time and trying to get us playing.

He isn't on his own I agree, but given he's just won POTY I think we should be demanding a lot more from him.

the guy that was one of the most crucial players in 20/21 & 21/22 (back to back YPOTY), was on his way to have his best season in 22/23 until injuries and won us the league last season is a one season wonder yeah

you are just embarrassing

Last season stands out.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I think there's been too much focus on Foden's potential rather than how the team can play to his strengths

He's now scored 91 goals for City from 289 appearances which for a midfielder who doesn't take penalties is phenomenal

However there's still this obsession (especially with England) to shoehorn Foden into something that simply doesn't suit him.

Ironically he's morphed into a 2nd striker who can ghost into goalscoring positions precisely because he doesn't get involved in the direct play as much as some people would like.

Hopefully today's goal will kick start his confidence and he can now go on a run.
