Wasn’t great in the second half. But could count on two hands how many times he found a pocket of space, demanded the ball, only for his teammate to look the other way.
Don’t know if it’s instructions or ability, but not a lot of players willing to break the lines.
Phil Foden at LW vs Serbia:
0 goals
0 assists
0 shots
0 successful dribbles
0 accurate crosses

Tanner Tessmann is a name to remember for USMNT fans. It’s “only” Serie B, but only 22 and led the league in total passes, progressive passes, and passes into the final third.
Very different profile from any other American midfielder.
🚨⚫️🔵 Excl: Inter are closing in on deal to sign Tanner Tessmann from Venezia.
Gaetano Oristanio to join Venezia and Tessmann to join Inter in 2025, staying one more year on loan at Venezia.

Pep said this about Mourinho 12 years ago, I always think about it whenever these kind of quotes come out.
At one point they were rivals, maybe even equals. Now it’s just history.
🔵 José Mourinho: “Not that I'm jealous, but Man City paid €80 million for Kalvin Phillips and now Pep has said it would be better for him to leave...”.
“So he’ll leave and they'll get someone else. Our reality is very different. It’s not easy for us to sign one player!”.

Darwin Núñez believer in the bio
Foden struggling in the England setup is no coincidence.
He’s been protected by City’s system for his entire career.
The same system that saw Sterling scoring 20+ goals a season.

Foden not yet having 100 starts is fascinating. Pep has done such a great job with his development, but it feels like Foden is gonna benefit so much from the lack of minutes in his early career
Won’t end up like Rooney, Fábregas or other young phenoms who’s legs were shot at 30
Phil Foden doesn't even have 100 Premier League starts. But he already has:
— 70 Goals/Assists
— 7 Club/Individual Trophies
And that's just the Prem. He has 58 G/A and 13 trophies in other competitions.

If you disregard De Bruyne’s injury riddled 19/20 season, he averages 13.5 assists a season for Manchester City.
But in the four seasons under Pep Guardiola with a true striker, it’s just under 18.
If he signs an extension Giggs’ record could fall by 2027.

De Bruyne was out until January, Grealish, Stones and Haaland have all missed significant amounts of time. Kyle Walker is the only senior fullback on the roster.
Mahrez was replaced with an unproven 21 y/o, and Kovacic is a totally different profile compared to Gundo
Pep is obviously a genius, but great squad depth is a significant factor as to why sides like City and Madrid finish the season extremely strongly, especially the former.
When you’ve got the luxury of 50m+ players essentially everywhere, the quality eventually prevails.

Telling his team filled with attacking talent that they are moving too fast when in possession and need to create the space first.
All the Pep memes are true
This is elite coaching
“We are trying to play fast when it’s 5 on 5, we can’t do that. We have to manipulate the spacing first”
Really good stuff
