I’m not sure if anyone is superior. Pundit believes that a £169 million Man City player is the best at one thing.
Ally McCoist believes Manchester City No.47 Phil Foden may be the best around at doing one thing.
The Scot made the remark when commentating on the FA Cup clash between Manchester City and Tottenham for ITV.
So, what did Ally McCoist say about Phil Foden? Let’s take a look…
What Ally McCoist said about Phil Foden
Well, the 61-year-old feels the England international might be the best player on the planet at taking the ball on the half turn.
Foden regularly pops up in between the lines for Manchester City, where his ability to sharply take the ball on the half turn immediately opens up a goalscoring angle for the Citizens more often than not.
After seeing the 23-year-old perform his trademark skill several times during the clash against Tottenham, McCoist said: “I’m not sure there is anyone better at taking the ball on the half turn than Foden.”

We echo that sentiment.
Foden – recently valued at £169m by the CIES Football Observatory – displays a level of balance that few players, if any, possess in world football, which allows him to spin away from opponents with ease.
How Phil Foden performed in Tottenham 0-1 Manchester City
Foden was once again outstanding for Manchester City in the FA Cup – after scoring twice against Huddersfield in the third round.
As SofaScore shows, the Stockport-born maestro registered two key passes against Tottenham, while also winning two ground duels.
Foden also won three freekicks for Manchester City to relieve the pressure at key moments, recording a pass success rate of 87% in N17.
It was a very tidy performance from the City Football Academy graduate, who played a vital role in the FA Cup fourth round victory for Manchester City.
In the absence of Erling Haaland, Foden is really stepping up for Pep Guardiola by causing havoc in between the lines.
