In this in-depth analysis, I explore whether De Bruyne and Foden can coexist in midfield, breaking down the formations, systems and tactical roles City deploy to assess whether two of Man City’s best players can form a dynamic partnership in the middle of the park.
Delve into this comprehensive examination of their abilities, potential synergies, and the impact on the team’s overall performance.

Hopefully we see this later today against Newcastle at some point in the game!
Only possible with a double pivot for better defensive cover.
Hi it would be great if u please update ur discord server link. The link present on your about has expired
Question to my fellow football fans.
Do you think that Foden can be a long term/permanent replacement for KDB once he retires? 🤔
Foden in RW is wasted for sure. CIty have a heavy left sided bias when building up play and that means Foden would be mostly isolated again and can barely do anything given that he barely gets the ball (we all saw the stats where City almost surely to win the game if Foden gets more than 60 touches, he just makes things happen). this is especially true if Doku is playing LW because Doku almost always want to take on his player rather than switching sided (Grealish back passes usually allow the team to switch attacking side). I dont know tbh.
Excellent video! thank you!
If Kev retires at city we should Retire the No. 17 with him. No one should be allowed to wear that shirt again
It might seem like the case of playing Lampard & Gerrard together. Seems forced. Who knows
Upload More !!! Always nice seeing you in other City YT channels.
Up the Blues !
Great video. I find technical videos quite interesting, ESPECIALLY when City are the topic.👍
Great analysis . Btw do you think that City should go into the January transfer market for a player like Gundogan ?
Top analysis and regards from Cyprus 🇨🇾
Good job Nobbins.
Cancelo on the left wing would be majestic now 😭
Man, this is a top-tier video… Keep up the good work Nobbins, glad you're for City…
Amazing vid! Amazing channel, will start commenting more!
100% agree with ya mate!! Bernardo would totally provide more balance, but Foden and Kev together in midfield would be a dream!!
Excellent examination of the issues, as always. Very thought provoking. As you rightly conclude, only time will tell on this one.
Your video keeps getting better
you are right it better he swap B.silver and Foden
Wow lovveee the new style of your video. 😮
Great analysis and points made was very enlightening as long as Foden keeps playing and Pep trusts him he will reach maturity in midfield sooner. Look forward to your next video!
Underrated channel on YouTube in fan created content. Upwards and onwards!
🤯 Had to subscribe immediately because this is some free game. Unreal analysis.
Potential defensive liability. Especially now considering kev isn't game fit.
Brilliant breakdown bro 👏🏽💡
Its a scary prospect and if pep can see a way he will make away
If pep makes it work, I can literally see Alvarez always being on the bench and being subbed at 80th min if lucky. 🥺
Yes they can play both in middle they played 2 years ago and Foden was scoring from shooting outside 18 Box…
Amazing video. You’re really well spoken and give great explanations. Can’t wait to see the channel grow more
Foden is the best with his Turn.
We need Kevin for Line breaking which I don't know why others do not do it, except Foden. Alvarez tries to do but fails more.
I feel like Pep will find a way.
Pep has made a system where no striker wins you a title. He made inverted full backs a norm. He made a center back move into midfield. And now he’s made a striker play central midfielder. At the end of the day, if phil doesn’t work at CM… pep will just come up with another crazy innovation that will make it work😂
Get in Binnsy
Awesome video mate. Maybe it's just me, but that camera shake effect on you is distracting. Best of luck to the channel!
I think pep has been using the narrow right side with walker high/wide to try and fit foden in on the right, play him very narrow and allow walker, kdb do add the width
Once kdb retires imagine a midfield 3 of a gundo-style developed foden, florian wirtz, and rodri
I believe it can work if John stones stays fit. A foden /kdb partnership is more about who plays bedside rodri. One of the reason why Haaland scored so much last season aside him being a good 9 was down to gundo and kdb playing behind him . If stones can stay fit and play lots of games ,Then I don’t think we are ready for what is about to happen for a foden / kdb pairing. It just breaks my heart Alvarez who has been excellent will be affected for this to work. A very good video bro keep it up.
Can someone explain why is Walker captain over KDB
Hi, its me from the future, it works.
You didnt get to talk about the false nine formation
I think thats where kdb and PF47 can play together
I think our best 11
Doku. Haaland. Foden
Bernardo king kev
Rodri
Gvardiol. Akanji. Dias. Walker
Ederson .
I'm feel bad for Alvarez to not make it to 11 .. but it is what it is .. .
Let's work on back to back champions league .. that's what we need for real ..
Bayern and madrid will be tough test though …
Come on city .. 💙
We saw it work in the Newcastle game
Gvardiol can move forward and allow foden who play in LW move into midfield alonside KDB and let kovacic stay alongside Rodri
