@Eurosport_IT Flavio is a top guy

[City Xtra @City_Xtra]

The end of an era. The greatest to ever do it.

A manager who changed the entire landscape of English football and brought times to Manchester City we could never even dream about, and achievements that will never be replicated.

Thank you for everything, Pep.

@pundit_jay Very difficult decision for the club this summer

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@9320pod I don’t think anyone believes the team the first 3 games of the season with no preseason is comparable to now. Trafford made one mistake against Spurs in any case? I think all of our best performances in 2026 have been with the same keeper. We’re so much better in possession.

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@9320pod There’s a lot of intangibles in there. GK situation is unique but there’s a touch of the Khusa vs Dias with this which means it’s not clear cut. There’s a very strong argument that the TEAM performs better with Trafford in goal. With more room to grow.

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@9320pod Trafford could become both of those things in the long term no? Donnaruma is still a better shot stopper yes.

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@NepaliManc I mean I love both of them but let’s no rewrite history, Bernardo has done many an interview on international breaks saying he wants to leave 😂

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@bailey_wynne2 Is it impossible that he leave in the summer though?

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@9320pod @benmckea_ I think it’s highly likely Marmoush will leave in the summer with his lack of playing time so would you like to see City bring in as a Haaland/forward line option. An Alvarez type?

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@dis_fpl I think you know the team 😜

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@9320pod @bailey_wynne2 Why would Ornstein want this though? It’s a little disconcerting it’s from him because his information historically is so reliable.

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@batesy1972 @JElgott Baffling isn’t it. Loved watching him for Netherlands and Milan. So excited when we signed him but he’s so soft it’s mad.

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@LNobbins @eajwhite Oh blimey I thought a win against Galatasaray and we were there

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@MJay104 Performances overall have been night and day. We’re top scorers in the league and we’ve improved in 2 competitions (so far) the personnel and the style of football has been completely different.

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@aar0n_nt This season has been NOTHING like last season

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@Cityforever03 @goatersmotors Why so cryptic?

[sam wightman @swightman77]

@Cityforever03 @goatersmotors So what is it?
