**The full quote from Paul Scholes on Phil Foden’s goalscoring production & his clutchness this season**
>This season, Phil Foden has taken it to a new level, where his goals at important times are potentially winning league titles.
>That is when you take your game to another level, he is still 23 and there is still so much to come from him, he has become a league winner.
>He’s a better footballer than Frank Lampard but Frank Lampard scored goals and won leagues for his club from midfield.
>You expect centre-forwards to do it. Haaland, you just expect his numbers, you expect Michael Owen’s numbers when the team is doing well.
>But from a midfield point of view, you’ve really got to take the game by the scruff of the neck and say: ‘Right, I’m going to get us back into this game, I’m going to win us leagues, I’m going to win us games.’
>I think Frank Lampard was like that and I think Phil Foden is starting to do that, goals-wise.
>Phil Foden is a much better footballer than Frank Lampard was, don’t get me wrong, but Frank won leagues for his team because of the contribution he made in midfield, in big games especially.”
Paul Toes
Paul sounds like he grew up in man united and is bitter about when Jose came and Chelsea did well. But I’m sure that’s not the case.
So Foden>Lampard>Scholes then?
Totally different players I don’t get the comparison. As a United fan scholes is one of the best players I’ve ever seen but as a pundit he doesn’t half talk some shite

That’s some serious clickbait, delete while you still can
Is he wrong?
This is what happens to your mind when you eat toenails for breakfast
Throwing unnecessary shade
(Did i say it right, fellow kids?)
Oh shite, you can always count on Scholesy to bash folk even if it’s himself … love it. Although I might disagree. Foden needs to represent more internationally for me. And get a few more years of league play under his belt. Then I’ll agree with this.

Well frank lampard was a million miles better than Paul scholes, and they actually played at the same time.
Foden clear of the entire MU squad 🤣
Scholes getting high off his daughters toenail polish I see
Play different positions 🤬
Let’s talk AFTER he has won the same amount as Lampard, and matched his number of goals scored in all competitions. Recency bias is so boring. 🥱
Foden doesn’t have a Premier League Manager of The Month award. Apples to oranges.
No way Scholesy actually said that bs
I don’t get why this is even a topic. I’m “anyone but Manchester City” but Phil Foden is a really good player on one of the best clubs ever assembled and it’s pointless to compare him with anyone else.
