After his team’s 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, Garth Crooks praised Manchester City forward Phil Foden.
The outspoken analyst thought so highly of the 23-year-old that he included him in his BBC Premier League Team of the Week.
It’s reasonable to say that Phil Foden, who was in charge for Manchester City versus Nottingham Forest, mesmerized Garth Crooks.
Phil Foden is included in the Premier League Team of the Week by Garth Crooks after Manchester City defeated Nottingham Forest.
Rio Ferdinand referred to the Englishman as “unreal,” and he scored the game’s opening goal on Saturday in spectacular fashion by latching onto a brilliant Kyle Walker ball and slamming a half-volley past Matt Turner.
Even without scoring, Foden simply picked up the ball everywhere on the field and controlled play from beginning to end, notably with his exquisite passing in the final third.
After Manchester City defeated Nottingham Forest to make it six wins in a row in the Premier League, Garth Crooks praised Phil Foden.
“Foden has only scored one goal for City in six games this season. His shot against Nottingham Forest gave the league champions the lead, despite your initial impressions. City appeared opulent at this point.
The triple champion, who shone for Manchester City against Nottingham Forest, was the ideal choice for Garth Crooks to include in his lineup.
The Englishman shown once more that he is at ease in possession in every phase, dancing around defenders, controlling the tempo in deeper areas, and being a threat in the final third.
The Stockport-born technical is excelling in a more central role this season, with a goal and three assists in five league games.
Foden has consistently displayed excellence on the field, even when he hasn’t scored a goal or provided an assist. As the season goes on, one can only anticipate him to perform at an even higher level.
