Don Hutchison has compared Phil Foden to Cole Palmer, stating that they are similar types of players. This resemblance is seen in the young players that Manchester City consistently produces – left-footed technicians who can play in various positions on the field. Along with Foden and Palmer, James McAtee, currently on loan at Sheffield United, fits into this player profile.
The influence of David Silva, a former Manchester City player, seems to have played a significant role in shaping the game of these young talents. Foden, in particular, has spoken about studying Silva’s game during their time together at the club. It is evident that Silva’s impact on the youngsters at City has been substantial, given his excellence during his tenure with the team.
Hutchison believes that it would be a waste if Foden does not accumulate 100 caps for England, emphasizing the special talent that he possesses. The pundit sees similarities between Foden and Palmer in the way they play, attributing it to the coaching they receive under Pep Guardiola. While both players have their unique strengths, with Foden being more technically proficient and versatile in his playing style, Palmer is considered a more direct player but lacks the same pace as his City counterpart.
Despite their differences, it is clear that both Foden and Palmer showcase a high level of talent and potential. Their ability to adapt to different roles on the field and contribute effectively to their teams’ success is a testament to the quality of players being developed at Manchester City.
