After being skinned by Sterling in first few minutes he played really well. If Toby goes he should be fairly regular starter next season.
It's not his composure that worries me. I think he's supremely talented and will go on to be one of the world's best with us or without. My worry is his awareness of the opposition and being a little too calm on the ball.Do think if Foyth was at Ajax he would be talked about as one of the best youngsters
Think he deserves more game time. Needs to hit the gym though. How many CBs in the PL have his composure on the ball?
Id like to see him given another opportunity at rb vs brighton just to see if its a legit option
I highly doubt Poch intends to play him at RB/RWB regularly. With Toby on his way, Foyth will have a lot more games at CB next season. If anything I think we're more like to sell Aurier or Trippier and promote KWP, using Foyth as an auxiliary 3rd option.Be interesting to see what he could do in an attacking sense. Pochettino said he played there when he was young. Likely will play West Ham if Aurier not back. Probably spells the temporary end for kwp likely go on loan. We certainly don’t need x3 RB in the squad if foyth can cover that well. He also faced pretty much the toughest test he’s likely to face at RB in PL.

No. He’s defo a CB.What if Foyth at RB was the plan all along ...
Bale at LW was the plan all along ...
The main thing was he didn’t dive in at all, especially in the box, which obviously has been a weakness this season. And when he did try and nick it off two extremely rapid players like Sterling and Sane, he generally got it. Big Dav also came across and gave him some excellent cover, too.To be fair, it's a bit easier to defend against width with an extra man in a back three, especially against a side who stretches sides and use width like City do. Foyth did pretty well there, but it's clear he's hasn't played out wide much at all in his career, he just doesn't look natural there (like he does at centre half IMO).
Think Poch had set us up yesterday to settle for a 0-0 or nick a 1-0, while on Wednesday he expected them to score and knew we'd need some away goals, hence why we were a lot more open. Poch did well tbh.
Pochettino just said he likes foyth on the right and trusts him there.
