 yes people you see the title you see the thumbnail no this ain't no clickbait this is me actually going to tell you why I believe Phil Foden is the best player in Europe right now we're gonna get into it all I'm gonna try and back myself up here because I genuinely believe it and I want you to get involved down below leave a like subscribe if you're new around here want to start making more videos and I think this is the one where I need to start if we're gonna start making videos today this is the one I need to start with cuz not one I'm seeing enough of I'm seeing so many titles and thumbnails and streams and content creators big enough this player big enough that player this youngsters generational this players world-class relax yourselves relax the hell down relax the hell down and the hell down no we need to start putting some respect on Phil Foden it's becoming evidently clear to me that pretty well nobody outside the Manchester fan base is willing to put the justified level of respect and praise on Phil Foden's name I'm sorry it's becoming beyond the joke now how many young players and decent players I'm seeing put up against Phil Foden like it's just yeah this is it Phil Foden's a good young player so every other good young player that comes along will pair them up with Phil Foden and say there's a debate there to be had the first one I'm gonna knock on the head right now is this phone versus soccer debate which I'm constantly constantly seeing I get bored of these things I get bored of comparing players to put it to other players it's a real social media thing isn't it I know I operate the social media but it becomes really forced in my opinion for for engagement and for clicks and that and the other but this is the big one at this day and age it's Saka versus Foden who's better even though they don't really play in the same position well phone does spend time in the right wing but this is going to back up my point further when we get into the video a bit more I believe Phil Foden is a significantly better footballer than Mikhail Saka what you what why do you how dare you say that about Starboy Saka you don't mean the pride of North London on that but Kyle said look at his numbers you you can't argue with his numbers I fucked the numbers sorry I don't care about numbers I was never brought up by my dad or anybody's older than me who got me into football to say you judge your player based on the numbers you see come up in your phone football is a visual thing for me I watch games with my eyes and I watch how players move I watch the things they do in the pitch the way they read the game their footballing IQ and all of these things for me make up how good a footballer is the numbers are just one little facet one little little facet unless you're a striker like for me maybe strikers you can kind of say fair enough they just need to score the goals that's that's kind of the job but for these meant to be attacking creative players there's a lot more to it than just numbers now again to be Kyle Saka's numbers this season and 16 goals 13 assists in all competitions he's made 34 appearances in all competitions numbers wise that's pretty good that's that's very good to be fair to be Kyle Saka and I can't argue with that Phil phone numbers wise a 16 goals and 10 assists in all competitions and so 26 G&A if you like and in 39 appearances which is very very good and I think there's a lot more context to this this discussion this debate than just numbers and I've made that very clear this isn't this is not just about numbers I don't care show your numbers if you watch football with your eyes and I've watched Saka and I watch phone and both of them with my eyes plenty of times live in the flesh I've been to City Arsenal loads of times I watch Saka on TV loads of times and of course you know I watch Phil phone every single week I think Phil phone is one of the most magical footballers in the world right now in the world and I don't know is it because he plays for Manchester City is it because he's English is it because he's part of a successful team I don't know what it is but people will not appreciate this and I think like I said at top this video this is the right time to make this video because right now Phil phone and is undoubtedly running the show with Manchester City I know De Bruyne is back as of late and he's racking up and assists to beat the band at the time recording which he just got four against the Luton and Haaland's back recently just scored five against Luton but when Haaland and De Bruyne were both absent from the team for for large parts like De Bruyne five six months Haaland two months the the weight of responsibility fell on Phil phone's shoulders was absolutely astronomical astronomical this young guy even though he is young because he's been with us so long the weight of the world fell on him you now have to be a main man you now have to be a chief creator you now have to run games and my expectation for Phil phone this season was I want to watch him run games where I always knew the level of talent Phil phone had and what he could do with the ball and with those moments of magic that he has but now this season for me it was I want to see him controlling games set the tempo make the game yours because I first saw Phil phone when he was 14 15 playing for the underage teams and back then I used to watch a lot of the EDS and the under 18s and all these kind of teams to see what kind of players will come through and if you watch phone back then it was he was genuinely running games against lads older than him he would set the pace he'd set the tempo with the world was playing at Phil Foden's game you're playing for Phil Foden and I wanted to see that become a thing for Phil Foden this season with Manchester City and sorry he has he absolutely has he looks so he's always expressing himself he looks up confident he looks like he's enjoying this football he's picking up goals and assists he's making things happen games where it looks like there's nothing happening Phil Foden is making something happen you know like Everton and these kind of games Newcastle and Brangford and Bournemouth and all these kind of games that are a bit stale Phil Foden is at the heart of everything good about it now if you look at the range of positions Phil Foden has played the scene he's played 18 times right wing once right mid 11 times in the attack and made once as a center forward and six times the left winger if Pep Guardiola is allowing you to is trusting you to play in five different positions over the course of these 39 games you know you're a special footballer I'm sorry you know you're a special special footballer to go back to the sack of versus phone debate honestly hand on heart do you think sacca could play in these five positions and impact the game the way Phil Foden is I get it sacca is very good as a right winger and he's picking up his numbers and that's probably what we want to do but he's not elite and he's not world-class I don't look at sacca and when he's in the ball go every time he's in the ball say to myself oh here's trouble here's trouble the same way I would fulfill phone every time phones in the ball I'm like what's he gonna do he's about to do something amazing or he's about to do something positive Salah even just just Mohammed Salah just to compare right winger with a right winger every time Salah is on the ball or even the ball is making its way towards Salah I'm kind of going oh no here's trouble I don't get that with sacca I don't get that with sacca so the bottom line is stop I will not I'm not gonna tell you to stop but I'm giving you my two pence now because I'm bored of the conversation that Foden is significantly better and I hate the phrase clear but significantly better football he's more gifted he's more if you got a higher footballing IQ and he's got a higher ceiling than Bacchio sacca that's my opinion and look we're at the time recording where one point off the top of the Premier league we're in the Champions League last 16 we won our first leg against Copenhagen and we're in the FA Cup quarter-final I guarantee you we are not in those positions right now without Phil Foden this season no chance please leave your thoughts down below in the comments and everything I said I know it's not a lot of people won't agree with me but I'm sorry it's just me giving my opinion I watched these games in my eyes and I don't feel Phil Foden gets enough respect for his name I really don't there's not enough praise given how special this guy is how well he's matured and bear the way of the responsibility so let me know what you think let me know what you think leave a like as well your way out subscribe for new anything else you want me to talk about leave it down below in the comments my god bless
