Is today made for the Manchester City wonderboy to make an impact? Manchester City face a must-win Premier League fixture today against Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. The only way that City’s title hopes will remain intact is if they beat Keith Andrews’ side, who sit 7th on the Premier League table and are a quality outfit.
Looking at today’s match, is it the ideal stage for Phil Foden to break the shackles and make an impact? Pep Guardiola has thrown his support behind Foden this week, and with David Ornstein reporting for The Athletic that Foden is on the verge of signing a contract extension at City , the feel-good factor may have returned for Foden. He could have a big role to play today in a crucial match for his team.
Pep Guardiola has once again backed Phil Foden to get back to his best. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola threw his support behind Phil Foden yesterday. Guardiola has no doubts that it is only a matter of time before Foden is back tearing games apart again.
Speaking in his pre-game press conference yesterday, Guardiola explained: “ I said many times, there’s no doubts about Phil and his impact. ” “ He’s a homegrown player from the Academy who’s been massively important in our seasons together. I wish from the bottom of my heart he can come back and play his best years with us and help to continue the team to be what it deserves to be.
” Pep Guardiola added that Foden showed positive signs off the bench in Manchester City’s 3-3 draw with Everton last Monday. Foden put in an energetic cameo appearance, and he did look like the player who has been so crucial to Manchester City throughout his City career. Guardiola added: “ He had good minutes and movements against Everton.
