"I haven't really been in a team that's ball-dominant before. It's being really patient, understanding when to slow down the game, when to speed up, being in the right positions, being an option. It's a lot."
Antoine Semenyo and City. Same but different.

So, in this week's episode of Manchester City, we've had ticket policy chat, "legacy" fan disillusionment, geopolitics, Pep Guardiola's importance as a figure in football and beyond, all leading up to Anfield...
BOY, DO I HAVE A BOOK FOR YOU!

Bernardo definitely in the conversation. Has made so much stuff work this season.

"The message was just a message of truth and love and incluvsivity to be honest," said Guehi without expanding on the point further to explain specifically what he meant. But he added: "I don't think the message was harmful in any way - that's all I can really say about that to be honest." "I believe 100% in the words that I wrote, even what I've just said now - it's a message of truth and love, and I hope people can understand that my faith is my faith, and I'll stand by it for the rest of my life," he said.
If I'm being perfectly honest, Marc Guehi is a brilliant signing for City on a football basis. However, the explanation he gave for writing "I <3 Jesus" on the rainbow armband left a lot to be desired.

In October, Dalton Smith was among the mourners at Ricky Hatton's funeral. Tonight, against the dangerous Subriel Matias in Brooklyn, he will attempt to become another British world champion at 10 stone.

17.12.2025 23:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah, I also think Cherki is key to that functionality. In this run of six wins, he didn't start Leeds and Fulham, which were absolute chaos. He's started the four since, arguably the best player in every single one. Four clean sheets, Madrid the only goal conceded.

Ideal scenario for City is Haaland being fit and scoring all season. But 14 out of 18 goals in the past six games have been scored by other players and Cherki-Foden false 9s tonight looked pretty saucy.

Erling Haaland came out for a chat after "a chaos game" at Craven Cottage.
"This period right now is about getting the points because it's a tough period. The league is not finished by Christmas, but you need to be there."

Nice to be back on with the lads. Is Jeremy Doku's form down to Pep or God? We couldn't possibly say.
