47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

Hopefully some posters are feeling a little embarrassed after losing their heads after one poor performance in what has been a great season so far for Phil.

We don’t pass to him enough. Rodri and Cherki seem to be the only players who find him consistently

Promising link play already with him and Cherki.

Pep needs to find the right system that allows Cherki, Phil and Erling to play from the start. Erling needs Rayan's ability to find him and Phil finding lovely gaps to do what he does best. A natural goalscorer and looks very close to being back to his best.

A lot depends on if Rodri can play alongside Nico to give them insurance. For me today Cherki for Bernardo and hopefully sooner than later Rodri for Tijjani and we'd be pretty much ok.

Spot on mate.

Loved seeing him tonight when we were at 2-2 he was determined to do something about it. The goal is really fucking good too, the patience to take it away from the defenders, let some space open up and then take the shot is brilliant when you're running out of time to score.

 

[denTTony]

Thank goodness he had his shooting boots on today

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Grabbed the game, took control and won it for us.

 

[ninjamonkey]

That's what we need from him. He has to be the man to stand up and make a difference for us and he did exactly that today.

Half the team could also learn something from Fodens willingness to fucking shoot. Amazing how little players want to shoot when yhe opportunity presents itself.

 

[skillman]

Doesn’t have to be the main man in the sense of driving the team on like Kev was for years - just needs to stand up and make a difference when it matters.

Which he did today. Again.

This is not true, he's been as crap as often as he's been good this season. He was on 1 goal in the league before today, crazy to call that a great season. It's just biased fans who don't want to acknoweldge reality. I dont even think he was even that good today, outside of the goals. He's so weak in the challenge and him in the centre is a big chunk of the reason why we cant control games any more.

Stepped up today. Still our best chance for goals after Haaland.

I love Foden but in no way is he having a great season

 

[Cigs&Alc]

I love Foden but in no way is he having a great season

Considering the disruptions, he absolutely is. He's only going to get better.

Omar needs to play.

 

[Kun Blue]

The lad is absolutely world class. I wouldn’t swap him for anyone in the world.

Already a City legend in my eyes, and absolutely no doubt will go down as one of the very best in our history

 

[Dazzle84]

Won us the game. What a player

He's not like Kev and he's not like David.
He's a goal scoring midfielder. He is more like Lampard in that he arrives in the right place and has a great finish.
I bet there is not another midfielder who has anywhere near 100+ career goals at the age of 25, in England.

Seen that he has moved above Beckham and Yaya for premier goals. He is only 1 Champs Lge goal behind Slippy G. 2 behind Lampard & 4 behind the ginger toe sucker.

Not like here to be reactionary

It’s not all about goals, he’s been ace and played deeper most of the season
