Phil Foden....no longer just potential

[Bluemoon dan]

He needs to stop playing so well in this next few matches. I had him earmarked as a cheap midfield option for my fantasy team next season but he's getting more expensive by the week!

The trajectory he is on, he could easily be the best player in the league this time next season. There aren't many players who can so casually play instant one-two passing moves the way he did for his goal. Sucking Robertson in and just spinning him and playing it into De Bruyne with his favoured left foot, then with a composed and pure quality finish with his right foot. Incredible. To have the ability to use both feet like that is sensational. Could Sterling, De Bruyne, Mahrez or Silva have finished like that with their weaker foot? De Bruyne just maybe!

He's a joy to watch. Whether it's the first minute or 94th he is running up and down the pitch and looking to protect the defence or score. Should have had another assist last night too, harsh to award a handball for the 5th goal.

He plays like, in his heart, he is one of us.
He cares so much about his performance, contribution, everything.
A city fan with his head on.
Added to that, his talent and application.
Watching him play for us for the next 15 years (hopefully) will be a joy.

You have to be a very good player to get in our team

To stand out in this team takes a very special player, and he is just that

 

[IBlue]

Should be straight into the starting XI for the national team, regardless of the number of PL starts for us. Southgate needs to accept his team isn’t the standard of ours.

Couldn't give a flying regards the national team, they'll build him up then scrutinise his every move, Sterling and Stones have both come back from national trips totally shot

The future, thy name is Foden.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I don’t care how many appearances Mason Greenwood has made this season.

It’s an unfair comparison because Phil Foden plays for a club who haven’t finished low enough to qualify for the Europa League since 2010

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Imagine how good he will be in five years time!

He will be City skipper one day and has the potential to become an all-time legend at this club.

I don't think Raheem can believe his luck? The pair have quickly developed a very quick understanding.

Saved us £60m in the transfer market this summer and we can use it to buy some proper defenders.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

He's got plenty of Lampard's qualities in him. Good runs to join attack, brains, scoring ability.
Could he be the new King Colin?

I've thought this for a long while. He shares a lot of similarities to Lampard, in terms of his ability to get into dangerous areas and score goals.

Foden, though, has the extra facet of skills like Gazza, that ability to play between the lines with his back to goal, drive directly at players.

That makes him a helluva player already.

And he's ours!

His run for the 4th was amazing, simple thing but done at pace, if he didn't break his neck to get there the space for Sterling would not have been there
