At least he can be a good cover from the second side after Haaland's difficulty in improvising in matches due to his constant guarding.
Foden from the start is a young player who is quite talented and from last season a lot of soccer players or observers regretted when he lacked the opportunity to play from Pep and for now he doesn't seem to want to waste the opportunities he has when he is given the opportunity to play.
But in the last few matches, especially for the last 3 matches, there seems to be a problem that we don't know what the root of the problem is this time because Manchester City seems to have lost its way and it is very difficult to create opportunities lately.
3 matches and they only scored 3 goals which is only 1 goal in each match they run. Honestly its like there's a problem and Pep still doesn't realize what they need to fix because in terms of attack and possession there's actually no problem for Manchester City but in terms of probability it's definitely a bit worse.
Honestly something need to be done urgently. Manchester city seems to be getting weaker recently, it's very necessary for Pep to develop a strategy as quickly as possible. The defense is not longer solid again, they allow too many shorts and the attackers doesn't look hungry for goals like before. If they continue with this one goal project, they will definitely give out the league.
Manchester city has not recorded win against big teams this season, they lost against Arsenal, drew against Tottenham and Liverpool, drew home and away against Chelsea and still struggling to score more goals against average teams like Brentford and Bournemouth. All these are very poor statistics and reducing the chances of winning the title. Pep has to utilize other tactical forms of attacking because the attacks have become less ruthless and Haaland looks dejected in most of the matches this days. The entire team is becoming so poor with the ball. No creativity, losing possession with ease and no good shots on target.
