47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

[MCFC1993]

Tired towards the end but we're going to need that version of him behind Haaland if we're to do anything this season.

 

[denTTony]

More involved & took his goal well

 

[CΛL]

The last time we were good, Phil was the focal point. Would welcome its return.

And here we have it

 

[alexmcity]

Looks more like his best self.

 

[moomba]

Absolutely love Foden looking more like Foden than he has for ages.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Best he's played since he won player of the year. Brilliant to see him back playing with a smile on his face.

 

[Gabriel]

First game where I’ve thought Foden looked like a man and a senior player in the side. He’s no longer the whelp amongst the old dogs. You could see him going around the pitch and physically lifting players off the ground, patting them down, and giving them encouragement. Grew up today.

 

[Dazzle84]

Fantastic show of faith by Pep playing him centrally and he certainly repaid that faith. Really good game from him

 

[ninjamonkey]

Welcome back Phil. Now don't go missing again, we need that again next game, then again the game after. Lot of pressure on his shoulders to be the main guy for us now. Time for him to shoulder it and shine.

 

[br88]

The biggest compliment I can pay is to say that he looked like himself today. It will be fantastic if he can get back to his best and today's signs are very good.

 

[skillman]

Back to the Phil we know and love, that was. Silky and firm in everything he did.

He has to play centrally for the majority of games for us. Hes by far our best midfielder now

 

[BLOOMUEN]

More please, Phil.
Absolutely great today and set the tone from the opening whistle.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Hes got that yard of pace on the turn, back. He creates time and space for himself. He was majestic today.

 

[BillyShears]

Erling got MOTM but Phil was our best player today.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I’d argue an in form foden is our best player. In the 10 role he’s unstoppable at times

 

[blue wang]

Sublime,

You could see he was on it,

Was a level above for 20 minutes. That pass he pinged to Doku, that he missed was too perfect for Doku, Doku unfortunately missed it. Felt foden was building a nice head of steam. Touches were coming off. Risks were rewarded. Poetry in motion.

We get old Foden back, we contenders again. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though.
Been a while since we saw that level from him.

Lad is mustard.

Agree, you could see the Foden old class today. Only thing i don’t agree with was the 2 passes you are probably referring to for Doku first half. I was sat on that side and he over hit both. On the /nd he did what he’s always done throwing his arms up. They weren’t good passes. Not slagging him though as today he looked much more like the brilliant Phil Foden we know he can be.

Erling got MOTM but Phil was our best player today.

I came in here to post the same. Magnificent

It was but then also who else could he play there?
