It’s not Manchester City’s season, who are in shocking form. The same can be said of Phil Foden. A look at the playmaker’s figures says enough.
The quarter-final matches of the League Cup will be played in England this week. Because City lost to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of October, Pep Guardiola’s team is no longer present. The defending Premier League champions have lost in no fewer than eight of the last eleven matches. This means that leader Liverpool is out of sight.
Foden cannot make the difference either. The England international was able to produce impressive figures last season. In 35 league matches, Foden delivered nineteen goals and eight assists. His statistics for the current year are in stark contrast to this. After eleven matches, the creative is still waiting for his first goal. He provided an assist only once.
The fact that Foden has not yet scored any goals is not very surprising given his shooting accuracy. Of all the shots fired by City’s attacking midfielder, only 12.5 percent ended up between the posts. This is the lowest of all players in the Premier League with twenty attempts or more.
Foden will have two more chances to boost his stats this year. City will visit Aston Villa on Saturday, and a home game with Everton awaits on Boxing Day.
