Brilliant compilation. And people are still arguing if he should be utilised more like Merlin or our Kev or whoever?!?!?!?!
The lad is a pure sniper, just get him into zone 14 (or zone 47) and let him shoot. And never seen somebody "passing" the ball from ~20 yards into the net, by all laws of gravity thos balls should fly but he is somehow keeping them skimming on the top of grass blades. Only when they smash into the net, you realise how fast they are by the sound of swooshing net.
Think you misunderstand Pep.
Working with Foden is a joy and a gift, says Guardiola
Pep Guardiola says it’s a joy, pleasure and a gift to have a rejuvenated Phil Foden back to his scintillating best for Manchester City.www.mancity.com
Pep Guardiola: “Absolutely [more to come from Phil Foden]. He has a lot of margin to understand the game. He will not improve his incredible quality, because it’s top. But understanding the game, in certain moments the way you have to play, the way you have to accelerate or decelerate the game. The timing, the tempo. He will get it. Everyone has margin to improve. Everyone.”
Well that was the crux of my post, understanding the game; intelligence to be dominant in that position
Sundays first half was same, Foden didn't know how to get in the game.
We weren't getting our attacking playmakers in the game, period. We were rushing our build-up.
Foden sat a lot deeper in the 2nd and it made us more comfortable in build-up and we were getting better connectivity over the pitch.
