![cityreport_'s tweet photo. Rayan Cherki has the potential to step into David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne’s boots and become #ManCity’s ‘flair player’, says Pep Guardiola.
🗣️ “Yeah, he has the ability, quality in the final third. That’s why I always demand, sometimes he goes back to pass the ball to the keeper. I say, ‘I don’t want you there, I want you up there’.
In the final third he has something that I like a lot with attacking players, how they play with the rhythm. Accelerate, decelerate, accelerate, decelerate, immediately attack, and after stop, and everybody stops, and after accelerate again. These players have the ability to play with the rhythm of the opponents. They have the vision to surprise [the opponents]. For me, that defines the best. A player can be incredibly fast, but he doesn’t know to stop and accelerate again, they will never be a top, top, top player.
Jeremy [Doku] as well, he goes, and stops, and goes, and stops. Those players are really, really good. Cherki in that is extraordinary; really, really extraordinary. He accelerates, stops, all the defenders stop, and after he has the ability to make a pass, an assist, and shoot. That’s why we need him close to the final third, so his talent helps us get assists, goals. It’s his biggest strength.”

What other player could take FOUR touches so fast?
INCREDIBLE 🔥
Lionel Messi strikes from distance and completes his hat-trick!
@umirf1 I'm very excited to see him talk more about football in a non Man City context.
🏆 "Those placing Ferguson ahead of Guardiola baffle me. I struggle to agree with a single reason to justify that claim."
@Carra23 explains why Guardiola leaves Manchester City as the greatest football coach there has ever been 👇

Gordon out Summerville in this summer?
What the hell is this about? Has anybody watched a single game of Fernandes this season? In a league where the game is built around pace / power / transitions here is a 31 year old with no real athleticism (hell of an engine mind), that still manages to control every game.
"Bruno Fernandes winning Footballer of the Year is long overdue recognition for a truly outstanding player. There are legendary No 10s who didn't ever achieve this level of consistency.
"But my vote went to… no one. No Premier League footballer this season has been at the requisite standard. The football has not been entertaining enough. The matches have been lacking in the technical quality and individual inspiration we’ve been accustomed to in previous years.
"Fernandes deserves his award, but it's a damning indictment of the individual quality in the Premier League that by simply maintaining his typical level he's suddenly the victor by a landslide."

Eddie Howe turns him into a demon believe me
🚨 BREAKING - Long-term #NUFC target Darwin Nunez has agreed to leave Al Hilal and could become a FREE AGENT if his contract is terminated - as per @ChronicleNUFC 💣
The 26-year-old’s work ethic and ability to run in behind appeals to the recruitment team at St. James’ Park. 👀
Borderline match fixing that from Thiago these last few minutes
Is it a hot take to say that Thomas Frank should've never been sacked? Maresca as well.
Love my club so much. I'm positive that the guy who dragged us from Bruce's relegation battle to UCL the next season, and won us our first trophy in AGES can oversee the next mini rebuild.
Noticed this about Bayern yesterday. Pavlovic, Stanisic, Laimer, Kimmich all very samey samey angle footballers. The only real dynamism in the game is when the ball got to Diaz or Olise. When Mendy started to tire and Olise got into the game it opened everything up.
Football will trend to prioritising two footed players everywhere. The angles it opens up is too big of a tactical tool for it not to be prioritised over other things.
Clips are no longer the byproduct of the main product — they’re the main product. No matter the size of the show, they drive the ultimate reach 👇
Football.
Love when Pep's conferences are him actually talking about football. And not when he's asked for the millionth time if playing first or second makes a difference in a title race. These comments about Cherki are what we should hear every conference!

Above all else, he's a player that even in a game full of superstars, you wouldn't bet against him (a right back) being the match winner or creating a match winning moment. I think you can always sacrifice things for a player like that.
Seeing Trent’s performance yesterday was divisive publicly. Interesting. I actually thought he was impressive, stood out and impacted the game well against such a good opponents
@Bd_irB_ll Khusanov will be the new Kyle Walker imo. Nunes will be the one sacrificed.
Pep Ljinders celebrating like that 😂
Compare that to Pep's quotes about Arteta when City scored against Arsenal.
@MaccaSport Think that's just variance to be honest. Newcastle's final aggregate was very harsh relative to performance. I think Chelsea's 5-2 defeat was also harsh in the first leg, and then Tottenham's first leg was also just a WTF moment.
Barcelona are better than Newcastle, Atletico are better than Tottenham, PSG are better than Chelsea, and Real Madrid are fairly even with Man City. Arsenal and Liverpool were the only clear favourites.
I LOVE NEWCASTLE UNITED
Eddie Howe has brought us from 19th in the PL and winless to going toe to toe with Barcelona at the Camp Nou, let that sink in!
