In Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Liverpool, Danny Mills criticized Phil Foden’s performance, stating that the young midfielder did not have his best game in a City shirt. Foden, who has been hailed as one of the standout players in the Premier League this season, failed to make a significant impact at Anfield, despite his heroic showing in the Manchester Derby.
Having previously scored three goals and provided two assists against Liverpool in the Premier League, Foden was coming off a memorable performance at Anfield in the 2021/2022 campaign. However, Mills felt that the 23-year-old was “quiet” in the recent draw, pointing out a missed opportunity where Foden failed to convert a one-on-one chance against Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
While Mills acknowledged Foden’s quiet performance, he also emphasized that it is natural for players to have off days. Despite Foden’s growing stature as City’s main man, he is still a young player with room to improve and develop his skills.
Playing as a winger against Liverpool, Foden struggled to make an impact as he was unable to drift centrally from out wide, where he is most dangerous. This tactical limitation may have contributed to his subdued performance against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Overall, while Foden may have disappointed in the draw against Liverpool, it is important to remember that he is still a young player with immense potential. As he continues to grow and refine his game, fans can expect to see more dynamic and impactful performances from the talented midfielder in the future.
