Phil Foden - 2018/19 Performances

[Easy]

Glides across the pitch. Knows when to pass, when to dribble. Always on the move. That first touch for his goal chance was sublime. Could of easily had an assist for Bernardo as well.

Does not look out of place at all quite the contrary.

Breakout season for him incoming.

 

[Tevez City]

Good player but unfortunate to have KDB, Silva, Bernardo ahead of him.

Hopefully he will do well whenver he plays then go out on loan in January to play regularly.

Pep has said many times he is not going out on loan,he is being managed perfectly

Playing regular will turn him into Wilshere 2.0 the body isn't ready for the demands of full time matches against men. I think Pep is doing a top job with him so far.

 

[oldius]

I think he's fortunate to have David, Bernardo and KDB ahead of him. If you want to be a great player, you learn from, and compete with, great players.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

I suspect we may see him kissing the badge on tuesday :+)

Eh? Doubt he’ll go on loan.

 

[caseball]

He's got a little habit he needs to lose. He stops and squares up to ask for the ball. He obviously wants to show what he can do but he doesn't need to do it. He'll grow out of it no doubt.

 

[Henkeman]

When you see him next to other players it's so obvious that he's still a boy. He'll develop naturally of course, but physicality is a factor in football, which is why I'm not remotely worried he's just being eased in. That's not to say he'll ever be a muscle bound monster, but he does still have a fair bit of physical maturing to do yet. The press whining that he ought to be starting every game is nonsense on multiple levels. He's a kid.

 

[caseball]

And he puts a lot of effort in when he gets on the pitch. He's not naturally robust physically so he needs to play smart. He'll calm down a bit as he finds his feet and expend less energy for the same result. As you say, it's better to drip feed him his initial experience if at all possible. If injuries made him a regular starter, he'd need to be able to play twice a week in this team.
