47 | Phil Foden - 2024/25

[1961_vintage]

I watched a different match than most. I thought he played really well yesterday, and after watching his highlights, I feel the same. His effort was great throughout.

Cracking reel that. He's clearly working his way back and there's nothing that a bit of luck here and there won't resolve.

Any chance of pep taking criticism without the toppest blues throwing dummies out. Pep is the greatest manager ever. I’m not convinced that he’s done the greatest possible job with foden and the 24 year old Phil we have isn’t as good as he should be. Blame phil if you want but pep can’t go 2 games without shafting him for one of the sideways passers. I don’t accept it doesn’t have an effect on his confidence

Didn't answer the question but carry on.

"Toppest blues". Grow up.

He was tied with Nunes for most creative players today imo.

Criticizing Foden for this game is odd, considering the main problem was the midfield 3 and Haaland not doing better with the chances (he got a few).

But that shows the bigger problem, if Haaland doesnt score, our only goal scorers are defenders...

Thought he did alright yesterday. Obviously a lot of room for improvement, but he was better than most.
Suffering from the fact that our build up is so horribly laboured and one dimensional.

Think he’s suffering off the field and bringing it to work, because he doesn’t look happy, isn’t performing anywhere close to last season, and even his shooting, which is normally outstanding, has been wayward and often snatched.

Hope Phil 23/24 shows up soon.

Rewatched the game and Phil...wasn't that bad. He's a bit off his game but it's close. I am feeling hopeful. Need more energy in the midfield to free him up though.

How could you bring yourself to rewatch that I couldn't even watch the highlights haha

I didn't watch the second half initially at all. So I just rewatched the entire game. It was pretty bad but we had chances. Team seems knackered.

I thought it was another good performance and a step in the right direction. Just not quite happening in front of goal for him in the league. But when he gets one he'll start firing again I'm sure.

Seen a spurious internet report that he has had problems with his iron deficiency. Any one know if there is any truth in this?
