He's a supreme talent. His movement, vision, control and weight of pass mark him out, for me, as potentially a top player in our first team. I have watched him for a long time and what he is doing in the first team is what he did in the academy. Making that transition seem so natural is a very rare quality.

Odegaard like David Silva, Bernie and KDB can play anywhere in the midfield role, Phil can't. In terms of being a midfielder technicality not goals is what counts. I think things like playstation Fifa ratings might have contributed to this madness of labelling a player as the best technically. In reality it's totally different.
Are you a psychiatrist or an ignorant buffoon?
I'm lost. I have no idea really what you're rambling about. Technique is first touch. How you move with a football. Your control. Odegaard is a great player no doubt but he doesn't do any of those things better than Foden in any shape or form.
You decide.
You're a tiler

Rambling? Ok, more rambling coming in.
Like I said a midfielder's role is to bring balance and control to the team. There's a reason Pep uses Phil wide. I hate to do the comparison thing but I had to bring up the stats for this one.
Notice the touches, ball recovery, passes attempted, passes completed and the forward passes. This IS the job of a technically gifted midfielder. As time goes on Phil would most likely evolve into this role but for now he is not the best technically gifted midfielder why? Because he is yet to become the "complete" midfielder that Dave was and Kdb is for us at the moment. It's not a matter of opinions and it's doesn't make me a rag for making this observation.

Looks like the next star for us, one of very few that have clearly gained Peps trust this early on.
