"Phil Foden is probably the premier attacking midfield talent in world football"Often, we do not appreciate what we have.
Phil Foden is probably the premier attacking midfield talent in world football. He plays for the leading club in what is often described as the most competitive league in world football.
He plays against low-block, ultra-defensive set-ups most weeks - space is very difficult to find - yet he holds six league titles at the age of 23. It is NOT A GIVEN that players like Wirtz and Musiala, who play a different brand of football in a different league, will be as successful as he is.
The loss of Rodri, Bobb, and DeBruyne is significant in terms of the creativity loss - this is not the time to judge. Let's just keep picking up the points until some of those players return, no matter how those points come.
Great player but a long way to go before he is the above and his form so far this season is shocking.
