One-hit wonder? Great Britain star Foden scored 19 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League last season and 0 goals and 1 assist in 11 games this season

In the past, some fans always said that Salah was a "flash in the pan", but now Salah has a stable output every year, has always been Liverpool's top scorer, and is the strongest striker in the current team. The word "flash in the pan" should now be given to Manchester City's Prince Foden, who was a world away from last season and this season.

In the 16th round of the English Premier League, Manchester City derby, Manchester City was defeated 1-2 by Manchester United in 3 minutes and 2 goals. In this game, Foden started the game and played the whole game, with 4 shots on goal, 1 on target, and no goals.

The 24-year-old Foden, a 1.71-meter-tall, left-footed player who can play multiple positions up front, has a contract with Manchester City until 2027 and is worth up to 150 million euros. So far this season, Foden has made 11 Premier League appearances, seven of them starts, playing a total of 719 minutes and taking 24 shots, but failing to score and providing just one assist.

Foden has continued his slump during Euro 2024 this season. Foden was the Premier League's best player last season, making 35 league appearances, 33 of them starts, making 2,871 minutes in total, scoring 19 goals and providing eight assists, and was a big part of Manchester City's fourth consecutive Premier League title. However, Foden's form has been particularly sluggish this season, and with half a season fast approaching, the Crown Prince still has yet to find a shooting boot.

From a personal point of view, Foden's personal ability is average, and he can only be regarded as a system player under Guardiola's tactics, and his breakthrough ability and shooting skills are not first-class, there is no speed, and he suffers from physical confrontation. Too many British stars are driving high and going low, Manchester United's prince Rashford feels wasted, and Manchester City's prince Foden's form this season is also falling off a cliff.
