Phil Foden played centrally for Manchester City in the win over Newcastle and looked bright as he assisted the winner for Julian Alvarez.
Phil Foden is one of the best players Pep Guardiola as ever seen attacking a defence, and showed those qualities against Newcastle.
However, Guardiola also said that Alvarez and Mateo Kovacic are capable of playing in an attacking midfield role, before challenging Foden to continue building on his progress this week. "We thought for the way Newcastle defend we can find him. After try with the speed of Julian and Erling [Haaland] to find in that position and the quality of the players we have. Kovacic is better to play that position more backwards than forwards. Managers adapt the skills for the players we have, the problems we have.
He said: " am happy, I have the feeling it is coming back. Still we are" not in our best, we have to make a step but it is completely normal. The toughest period we've come from. Today the biggest difference is the team show to me or the Premier League still we are ready to try it again. To win in Sheffield [United], this is the target."
