47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

[br88]

There were so many positives yesterday. Regarding Phil, it is just great to see him displaying his wonderful football talent again. The confidence is clearly back and, as many have pointed out, you can tell that he loves playing with a certain Mr. Cherki.

Pep knows

Ha ha - love it!

 

[TFC]

Underrated that game.

I know how many other names will get plaudits, rightfully so, but Phil secretly ran the show with a hand in all 3 goals, and running his ass off

I think Phil operates best quietly pulling the strings. Loved that performance yesterday :)

'Ran the show' is a bit stretching it, the performance was a top collective effort. But I too thought he was great in both phases of the game. It was a complete No 8 performance.

He almost scored and opened the scoring, but instead provided an assist for O'Reilly. He was magnificent off the ball, working incredibly hard, especially defensively and supporting O'Reilly on the left flank.

He combined very well with Cherki.

I think he's going to have a lot of stats this season. He won't have to shoulder the entire creative burden alone anymore; Cherki will be there to share that responsibility with him, absorbing more players and creating much more space for him. With time and playing together, they could produce some truly beautiful performances.

The Foden-Cherki duo should take inspiration from the Xavi-Iniesta partnership (in a similar way). In any case, it's very promising.

Cherki will bring the best out in him

Let's watch the next game against Liverpool .

Piss off...

Poetry in motion. I forgot just how much of a special footballer he is. Beautiful to watch.

Phil's well and truly back!

That was an outstanding game. You can see his maturity both with and without the ball, and his goals were incredible.

 

[Rolo]

I've been hesitant to buy in too the hype to much surrounding him the last month or so and wait and see but yep, he's back.

 

[Chak19]

Hopefully another excellent home game at the weekend.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Hopefully placing shot Phil is bavk. He’s been trying to shoot too hard.

Just in time for the scousers. Phil loves a goal against them too.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Different class tonight.

 

[asahartford1]

Starting to change gears

 

[Kippax Kidd]

Just to put some respect on his name - he scored as many CL goals tonight as Cole Palmer has in his career.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Excellent. Good to see him some goals as well

 

[citytill1die84]

Those two goals are absolutely superb

 

[Bluemoonie92]

2 great goals but his all round play was superb. The ball just seems to stick to his feet. Can tell he is enjoying it again, brings so much control to that midfield now. Hopefully England don't fuck him up again
