#1 Phil Foden and Rico Lewis defender
Man City fan from the hills of West Virginia
Incredibly disappointing.

Completely understandable from Nico’s POV.
BREAKING: Nico Gonzalez could leave #ManCity this summer in the event of a good proposal. An exit is neither guaranteed nor 100% decided and depends on offers, but there is a feeling that the midfielder is not that crucial for the project; ‘one to watch’.

Feels like we have a backup striker problem

Marmoush has been no where to be seen

Dias gave away the fake penalty but I actually think he’s been pretty good tonight.

Might be a hot take
July 1, 2025 at 3:29 AM
Love you Phil Foden

What a ball from cherki
July 1, 2025 at 3:21 AM
Oh boy, thought I saw Rodri pull up and I was correct
July 1, 2025 at 3:16 AM
Has Ederson made a save tonight lol (not much he could do about that one)
July 1, 2025 at 3:11 AM
About time to get Savinho off

His first half wasn’t bad but once again no actual decisive moments
July 1, 2025 at 2:24 AM
Get Betinelli on
July 1, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Feels like we’re going to need to change the left side of the defense soon. Either put Gvardiol at left back or sub him for Ake (or Akanji)
Feels like Ait Nouri is having a hard time defensively out there tonight

Ederson after us scoring a goal is a dangerous liability lol, passed it to Al Hilal immediately lol
July 1, 2025 at 1:14 AM
Low-key I thought Ait Nouri handled it lol
July 1, 2025 at 1:12 AM
I apologize Savinho

Halftime thoughts 💭

Not many complaints, playing pretty well

Tired of Ederson making mistakes

Doku reminds me of Raheem with the off the ball runs he’s doing, great goal.

Set pieces have sucked

Savinho not doing enough

Dias and Akanji haven’t been bad, but their pairing makes me nervous
June 26, 2025 at 7:53 PM
Ederson sucks so bad lol
June 26, 2025 at 7:14 PM
Shades of Raheem Sterling
June 26, 2025 at 7:12 PM
Please let this tournament be Akanji’s farewell tour. It’s not even that I don’t like him, he’s just blocking Khusanov and Reis from getting minutes.
Your City starters 🤌

KDB, Gundogan, Bernardo, Kovacic —> Reijnders, Lewis, MGW, Cherki

I would love to secure MGW now but him next summer if he’s still available would be awesome.
Pep Guardiola spoke to Morgan Gibbs-White in the Wembley tunnel after the FA Cup semi-final. There are suggestions #ManCity baulked at Nottingham Forest’s £70M+ asking price and negotiations with Evangelos Marinakis were unlikely to run smoothly in time for the #FIFACWC.

Full-time thoughts

Bit of a boring 2nd half but had 2 bad misses from Doku and Haaland

Rico and Nico had a much better second half.

Reijnders fits our midfield like a glove.

Hoping Oscar gets a start next game, looks so decisive.

Rodri rusty but expected.

Game 1 cleansheet and we move!
June 18, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Rico is so good
June 18, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Savinho frustrates me so much
June 18, 2025 at 5:35 PM
Give me Khusanov or else I riot

Half-time thoughts

I don’t know if I hate the formation or just hate Cherki at false 9 instead of Marmoush up top. Cherki has felt poor.

Wingers felt very boring for most of the half.

Vitor Reis is gonna be a top player in a few years.

Not sure if inverted LB Nico works.
