Phil Foden - 2017/18 performances

Foden, Diaz and Nmecha needs to start against Wigan

Foden absolutely does. Probably next to Spanish Dave, if he's in England at the time, or De Bruyne if Silva can't make the game.

That was all aguero mate.

Disagree. Foden did really well to stay on his feet, draw the two defenders out of position and create the space, then have the cool head to pass back for Sergio. Obviously the strike was incredible but without Foden's run there is no fifth goal.

I wouldn't count an assist myself for that one. The man has banged it in from 20+ yards. Without the world class strike there is no fifth goal. Foden could have beat the entire team and laid it back.

The kid did very well. But that was all aguero

Foden did very well in the build up to a goal that was 99% Aguero.

Agreed.

I am not one of these who gets all excited and convinced we have the next Messi everytime a 17yr old looks half decent. In Fodens case he looked pretty comfortable out there yesterday and I suspect he will get a fair bit of time on the pitch between now and the end of the season. He has everything he needs to become a very good player lets see how he gets on.

young talent this kid.

Just watched the highlights on the OS and love that picture of Foden with his arms wrapped around Sergio after the 5th goal. He's a 17 year old local lad who is not only on the same pitch as Sergio he is passing to him for a goal. He must be in heaven.

“Yeah, that must’ve been brill mate... what’d I do this weekend? Oh... nothing as blinding as your dodgy trip to Tesco, really...”

Good guess! According to the xG website, it was 98% Aguero - Foden got credited with 0.02 expected assists for that pass.

Yeah, considering he would have experienced the Agueroooooo! moment as an 11 year old, it must be pretty amazing to play in the same team as several of those players now.
