villa4europe Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I always think Foden plays well against us as we tuck narrow and he drifts wide in to the freedom of the park, especially the cup final he had so much time and space That's why I think him and Jack would kill the euros, foden has a quick mind and quick feet, Jack draws players in and commits them, foden off him would be a nightmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t take you seriously, sorry. It’s not this website. It’s one or two posters. Very often the same ones. They like to be contrarians. It gives them attention. I saw a 19 year old player in a league cup final last year be the best player on the pitch. Since then he has become one of the best players in the league. Anybody that has watched Foden and doesn’t rate either him is looking for attention or knows nothing about football. This has nothing to do with Jack.

I think being the best attacking/creative player on your team means a lot more than being 5th option. (With De bruyne, Mahrez, Bernard Silva, Gundogan and Sterling) Still going with this?! Everybody is entitled to their opinion but on this you either don’t know what you are talking about or trolling. It’s not even a debatable point....it’s getting up there with flat earth opinions where I don’t even know where to start basing the debate on because the other person is so wrong. If Foden has been average or bad this season you obviously know very little about football. The final paragraph is just a bad attempt and failing in trying to justify your opinion. As I said in my prior post, I can’t take you seriously on this topic... Edited May 31, 2021 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is benefitting a lot from the fact his teammates get the vast majority of the attention so when he does something it is almost always in a 1v1 situation. Mount has been Chelseas best player this year. You wouldn't say that about Foden. Personally I think that Pulisic/Kante have been Chelsea's best players this year. (Btw your views on Foden are literally contrary to 105% of the population of this country, just saying) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foden is good for a 21 year old but he's not a great player. As I have said I'd take 5 wingers/cams at City ahead of him. And a lot of other English players. Grealish, Mount, Saka, Greenwood (although similar story for him in regards to having lots of help), Barnes for sure, Sancho, Eze, Bowen, Sterling all ahead of him for England places in my opinion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I genuinely think at current trajectory Foden has the potential to become one of the greatest English players ever. But yeah on second thoughts Harvey Barnes is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be better in the future but as of this moment I'd take them over him. Like are we forgetting the last time city had a 19 year old scored 8 goals in a season. It was Ihaenacho who is now looking pretty good but pretty much did nothing for 3 seasons at Leicester. I'm sorry I don't think performances in peps Man City team equates to actual quality. This is like the same arguement with players like Lingard and Alli. They performed well in good sides with a system that suited them. That doesn't necessarily translate. I think foden is a lot better than those 2 were. But like at the same time I'm not anticipating him to be English footballs GOAT. He will probably end up like a top 50 player in world football maybe top 25. But it's not like he is Mbappe or Halaand.

Wainy316 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Grealish is the only one I’d take over him in this moment and even then I admit that Foden will likely surpass him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Jack and Foden need to be played in their best positions to get the best out of them. they’re terrific players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MaVilla Posted June 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2021 Kane on Grealish: "ooph!, fantastic player, i love Jack, love Jack as a player, from when he came in and I started training with Jack we just had a real good connection, he see's the game a lot of how i see the game in terms of how he passes and how he moves, always looking forward and putting balls in, trusting your team mates to have the touch be able to handle it, i think he is a real player and one who is going to be very special for the future." timestamped @2m24s for your viewing pleasure.: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Sounds like media training bollocks to me "Phil foden?" "nah not for me gaz, don't rate him, not sure how he's managed to blag it so far" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
