Ferran Torres

[hilts]

Use your own eyes fellas it ain’t difficult, Foden isn’t rapid like Gascoigne wasn’t rapid but they were/are quick of mind and pace over a short distance. Literally no one has ever looked at Foden playing and thought fuck me he is very quick, but then some daft top ten comes out and people swallow it because he is a City player.

Foden has enough great qualities you don’t need to make up false ones for him.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Speed is something that can be measured quite precisely. In terms of top speed over the whole 19/20 season Foden came 10th in the league. I trust this ranking over your subjective speedometer.

Measuring speed by measuring how fast someone runs? Ridiculous

Get your speed gun out, then let us know. Until then I am bored by you

Na I’ll just wait for you to look on some geeky stats site rather than what is obvious to the eye week in week out. If Hendo wins player of the year he’s had a better season than Kev. That must be correct too as the players must know more than us. Same level bollocks as you’re talking now about something that is pretty clear to see.

You are one fucking bore. I never said anything about Henderson, you did. I never said anything about stat sites, you did. Yawn

 

[Sir peace frog]

i was surprised by foden after the players came back,he looked to have gained 2 yards of pace,that stat people are talking about is a burst of pace,people like sane and walker can keep that up for 100 yards, phil for 20,but add that to his obvious footballing brain the he would and can piss it on the wing,however i personally think hes been playing on the wing to accomadate davids fairwell appearances ,and as soon as david goes phil will get games in the middle where that extra pace will get him 20 goals next season if he stays fit

I apologise but name one player out of the ones I named you genuinely think Phil is faster than?

I am bored with you, sorry, and i really don’t give a fuck. Until you get a speed gun, or arrange a race, it’s fucking irrelevant. Yawn

Those lists are absolutely not meant as an indication of how fast players are.

Sorry mr interesting. Keep mentioning the speed gun (not boring in the slightest) because you know all those players beat “very quick” Phil for pace. Have a lovely afternoon.

Have we announced him yet so we can close this thread?

Irony

He couldn’t beat that Brandon Williams over 30 yards in the derby. He gets away from players over 10/15 yards which is ideal centre mid but he’s blatantly not got bags of pace. If he had he’d have been terrorising fullbacks whenever he’s been playing wide as he’s got everything else.

Sterling doesn't get round the outside of many fullbacks though.

He does have the ability to however

Maybe Foden does, but can't actually do it, same as Sterling.

I thikn both Sterlina and Foden have the ability to do whatever - but tis what they are best at

Foden can play outwide as he has done recently BUT he is vastly more effective centrally as part of the midfield

Sterling can play across the front 3 but for me is more effective wide

He's effective at scoring, coming from a wide position & Foden is a central player.

But I think Foden can play wherever it suits, to get him in the team.

It won't cost us in creativity, when he plays in Sterling's position, as Sterling barely has any assists from there. It would cost us in goals, if Sterling was left out. I also think Torres may soon be able to play Foden's position, as well as wide. Lot of options.

True but I think that’s because his left foot is very limited. He used to on the right but suppose his goal record is why he stays on the left these days.

He did swap more in the last 2 games when Foden was on, think when he plays with Torres they will swap sides a lot.

Even if he put the ball in, it would only hit the wheels of the bus anyhow.
