Messi is incomparable but I see your point.
You may he right with Foden. He has played a lot of games at a high level from a young age. Hopefully he turns the corner as he was brilliant to start to the season.

Cherki isn't physically imposing, nor is Bernardo Silva and they more than dangerous in the Premier League.
I think it's a confidence issue with Foden but that's just my opinion based on tonight's performance.
No idea mate. It looks like he has lost confidence for whatever reason to me.
04.03.2026 23:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I thought Foden was good in the first 20 minutes, but from the moment he gave the ball away that led to a Forest chance his confidence evaporated. That's how I saw his performance anyway

My City player ratings and match report as Manchester City drew 2-all with Nottingham Forest tonight.
Heaps to take out of the game as talking points but City will be kicking themselves although Forest deserve credit for their fight.

Nico O'Reilly will miss tonight's match for Manchester City against Forest which is a blow for Pep Guardiola's side. But O'Reilly's injury does give Foden an opportunity to start which is perhaps the silver lining in the situation.

As far as I'm aware the ankle injury he suffered against Leeds keeps him out. Unsure how serious it is at this stage. Hopefully Pep provides an update soon.

Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of tonight's match as Pep Guardiola makes two changes to the starting eleven that beat Leeds. Erling Haaland starts, but no Nico O'Reilly for City.

Rodri is getting better with every match he plays which stood out against Leeds and is a great sign for what lies ahead for Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola has spoken on the challenge that motivates him as the Premier League has evolved.

Erling Haaland has trained today ahead of Manchester City's Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest. It would appear that Haaland is available for the match which is a big boost for City.

Antoine Semenyo is making an impact for Manchester City while learning the Pep Guardiola way. Semenyo spoke on this after City's win at Elland Road and when everything clicks for Semenyo he'll be a proper handful.

Great assessment there. A loan to a Premier League club next season should accelerate Mfuni's development. I think he's going to be a special player and if he becomes as good as we all think he will be they'll find a role for him in the first team.

Stephen Mfuni has spoken on his goal of making the City first team. Watching him play for Watford, he has the makings of a special player and he has the drive to match his talent.
esteemedkompany.com/2026/03/02/a...
Rayan Ait-Nouri has grown into his role at Manchester City and his recent performances have been vital. He was very good against Leeds as he continues to trend upwards as a player.
esteemedkompany.com/2026/03/02/t...
Pep Guardiola has provided an update on the injuries suffered by Erling Haaland and Nico O'Reilly. It remains to be seen if they will play against Nottingham Forest this week.
esteemedkompany.com/2026/03/02/p...
Dias and Khusanov.

I thought Marc Guehi and Ruben Dias were superb against Leeds and their presence at the back was a vital ingredient in Manchester City's win at Elland Road.
esteemedkompany.com/2026/03/01/l...
Rayan Cherki was superb for Manchester City in their 1-nil win over Leeds. He put in a controlled performance and still found a moment to provide a piece of magic to decide yesterday's match.
esteemedkompany.com/2026/03/01/a...
Erling Haaland missed Manchester City's win over Leeds yesterday and Nico O'Reilly had to be substituted with what looked to be an ankle injury yesterday as City have picked up two fresh injury concerns.
esteemedkompany.com/2026/03/01/t...
Different type of player imo. Better going forward than Anderson.
Playing the two together with Rodri would give us a midfield that would take some stopping.

Manchester City and Leeds have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of today's pivotal match at Elland Road.
Erling Haaland is out of today's match due to injury but he is expected to play against Nottingham Forest.
esteemedkompany.com/2026/02/28/m...
Elliot Anderson continues to be linked with a summer move to Manchester City. At this point, I'd be surprised if Anderson doesn't become a member of Pep Guardiola's squad .
esteemedkompany.com/2026/02/27/a...
Nico O'Reilly has taken tremendous leaps as a player this season and the added responsibility of playing in midfield has brought out the best in O'Reilly.

Cavan Sullivan is developing nicely with Philadelphia Union ahead of ths move to Manchester City in 2027. Sullivan looks to be a special talent.

Jeremy Doku has returned to training ahead of Manchester City's clash with Leeds.

Manchester City are reportedly eager to extend Bernardo Silva's contract. It is hard to imagine a City side without Bernardo in it, his importance to Pep Guardiola's side has stood out even more in recent weeks.
