We Have To Talk About Phil Foden 

Now the shove saka in. People always take him for granted where they should be thankful england have this pool of talent

Emphatically...

nobody with common sense ever thought mount or saka is better. They want to insert their player in the discussions just to pretend theyre on Fodens level

Tbf to Mount his form has fallen off a cliff, to the bottom of the ocean.... meanwhile Phoden just rises continually though.

At the time they played each other in the CL final, Mount genuinely was better. But now there is no competition, Mount has been a total letdown and Foden has thrived.

Naw I knew he would be a quality player several years ago to be fair

Hes been a sensation since school always loved playing with Ronnie.

who is here after REALity set in?

After bukayo..

If u r the best player in the best league, aren't you then the best player

@@joshuajacob4317 not right now I think their talent is very even but Foden is on fire atm

He’s not even the best player on the England team muchless the best in the prem. I guess saka isn’t England’s player of the year for the last 2 years

imo there could be superstars in other major leagues that can contend with being best player without their league being the best league. Think of it like this: A team can be the best team because of their team work, but the players themselves may not be the best, but a team may not have the best teamwork, but some players show insane individual performance that can carry the team up to a certain lvl

Nah this man looking for side missions, what happened against CHELSEA Tinashe??!!🤣

Bro mentioned Cole Palmer later on in the video like he didn't spend years in the City youth academy either...

@@tylersmith3533 Yeah you're right. I was talking mainly about Manchester born players. Should've mentioned Palmer though!

Pep did that after Mahrez left

@@Agent.K.nah, pep has always played Foden on the wings because we have KDB. Foden belongs in the midfield tho, that’s his best position.

@@SebastianDalhed Not Always. He plays him in the wings against teams that can counter us. We need more bodies doing the runners so we can't have our normal 3-2-4-1. Instead, Foden sticks to the wings with some degree of freedom of drifting inwards. It's all well managed. There is no reason to be complaining.

@@Agent.K.nahh, foden is the reason why sterling lost his place & wanted to leave. Then city buy grealish & move phil to the right

I doubt southgate would know how to use this generational talent

Weird comment

I've been saying this for a while now. Phil Foden is already one of the best in the world.

India?

Welbeck is 10 years older than Foden…

Welbeck?

@@VC-ps2vm yes

@@giteausuperstar mb I confused him with someone else, it was probably Hudson Odoi

This is the first video I've watched on this channel, but elsewhere I see so much pandering to the laziest available opinion and it's refreshing to see someone clearly and calmly putting forward their own thoughts based on observation.

Largely thanks to referees and the underperformance of other teams in Laliga I would say tho.

@@user-ir8er1bh4q so they literally lost 2 points BECAUSE OF THE REFS while every other team around them is either performing about as well as you would expect or a team on a miracle run. barca has only lost to girona, real, and villareal in the league. girona is on a miracle run in the league but ultimately they dont have the talent to go all the way, atleti have been hemorrhaging depth for years and everyone else in the league has a chance like one every decade at best and it isnt this year for them. real madrid are DEEP. their midfield depth is bellingham, kroos, camavinga, tchouameni, modric and valverde. basically any of those players slots directly into ANY team in the world, most of them in multiple positions not only in the midfield. they r dead middle in the league for penalties won while averaging most shots, shots on target, pass completion %, touches in the attack 3rd & penalty area, and 2nd in possession. when u r that much better than everyone else the only way they can defend u most of the time is fouling u. look at the nba and how people guard Giannis and youll see this. If you think they r being helped by the refs bc they r first in fouls drawn and have committed the least fouls, it is more likely just because they are more skilled

And Liverpool too.

Liverpool

@@user-ir8er1bh4q well at least they didn't have to be 'bought out' to get to where they are now.

lol

He should have been in the top 3 last season too. Absolutely vital to a treble winning side.

65 games unbeaten Mr Rodrigo played. Records nothing to him 😲😲

I don’t think julian fit in this pep system. He’s suited in the 9 position.. but with haaland there, there’s no where he gonna bench him

@@thecitizens4573 that's what is so unfortunate 😕 😔

im a city fan and no alvarez is meady

Debut season ?? Were you just start watching football? Boy did not won YPOTY sitting on the bench.. he got benched last season, but that’s just pep style. Bernardo, sane , sterling, gundo, even aguero & rodri have all been there. Grealish this season. Only kdb a regular starter since pep came

If you do nothing but go by goals and assists, yes. The game is more complex than that.

But it won't count in terms of comparison since Foden did that as a forward not a midfielder

He is a midfielder playing as a forward​@@MrLove717

@@MrLove717 Foden had all of his G/A playing in the middle. His dry games came when he played on the wing. Lampard played behind to strikers as well which is technically a forward's position but he is a midfielder.

Honestly, most of Liverpool's players are doing well. Endo, Diaz and Nuñez are all doing really well too. Even Gomez is having a great season. But I don't expect him or Darwin to win it. Salah is good but not best of the best imo, so I would pick Van Dijk (who finally is the best defender in the world again) or MacAllister for Liverpool. But Phoden might win it too. We'll see. I am happy if Liverpool wins the league. All their players are appreciated by the fans either way

I'd be more interested in the super team he was part before going to RM: River Plate from the 40's, known as "La Máquina". A team that was considered the very best of that decade worldwide. This is particularly important since River is considered to have the best football's youth academy in Argentina, above other great ones like Argentinos Juniors (Mac Allister and Maradona, for example), Vélez Sarsfield (Otamendi, Simeone), Newell's Old Boys (Maxi Rodriguez, Scaloni), Rosario Central (Di María), Estudiantes (Verón), Independiente (Bochini, Dibu Martínez), and Racing Club (Diego Milito, Lautaro Martínez).

If di stefano played today he’d be equivalent to Marco Asensio.

A.I. all day...... aka Grammarly

Are you ok

@@tinsaederesse9173LMFAO😊

Maybe you don't like the face 😂😂😂😂

calm down.

mainly because he's done nothing for England.

​@@kevinb9830 until southgate goes, or starts playing foden centrally instead of out wide, we won't see peak phil for england anytime soon

@@jedreznokyovic2103 That may be true but if you put Messi or Ronaldo in either position they would still be the best player on the pitch. I know those two are sort of in a class of their own but the same applies to many genuine world class players.

@kevinb9830 i mean you said it yourself, youre literally putting him in comparison with the best players of the past decade. Obviously he's nowhere near their prime level, no one is. But he's also not in his prime yet, and its not like he fails in those positions at city, he just doesnt shine as much. But my answer for his england form, gareth southgate, useless man.

@@jedreznokyovic2103 I think world class attacking mids would still be top performers in any position in the attacking third.

Yup, real will need to try and mark foden out of the game for both halves

If you feel terrified becuase a football team you don't even play for may lose, I would suggest getting a hobby

High quality is depth

Bellingham is clear

hate happens when acceding towards the top, don't ever forget this......

You mentioned 5 players and none of them can replace gundogan or can even play the role, alvarez tried to put alvarez in that gundogan role and it didn't work He tried to replace mahrez with foden on the right but foden isnt an out and out winger And those two are almost irreplaceable

Tf you mean dawg

@@icyikon4154he’s just trying to say white people can’t have haircuts that black people get. It’s just casual anti-white racism which is acceptable these days for some reason.
