Yes Carreras is smarter and has better deep buildup. Cucurella is only passable for Spain bcos everyone else babysits him buildup and they keep the ball a tonne so his defending is largely limited to rushing into duels in rest defence

How tf has he been one of our best players? Mid vs Coventry, terrible first half vs Yanited, TERRIBLE vs Liverpool, got run through vs Sunderland, atrocious cameo vs Ipswich. His only "good" game was Porto and even then our midfield got run through a few times

Personally I don't hate on the guy but the revisionism after the PSG game about cherki is just infuriating. They be acting like cherki is this scrub who doesn't perform and the reality is we have a 125M CM who basically can't do anything in that role except cosplay as a #10

اخذوا هذهِ الأحصائيات ودونوها وانشروها في ما بينكم وفكروا بها الف مرة و مرة و فتشوا عن الأسباب عشوائيات أمام بورنموث الـ XG الي أستقبلنا كان 0.65 و 4 تسديدات على المرمى أمام البالاس أستقبلنا XG 0.66 و تسديدة واحدة على المرمى أمام كوفنتري في ملعب الأتحاد والي هو أقل خصم أمكانيات في البريمرليغ أستقبلنا XG 1.37 مع 4 تسديدات على المرمى اليونايتد لن أذكرها لأننا لعبنا بـ 10 لاعبين 70 دقيقة لذلك معاييـرها مُختلفة .. امام سندرلاند وكذلك في الأتحاد أستقبلنا XG تاريخي لم يسبق لنا رؤيته خصوصاً في الاتحاد وهو 3.57 مع 9 تسديدات على المرمى !!!! وازيد عليها 8 فرص خطيرة لسندرلاند الي هو اصلاً قبل مباراتنا بـ 5 مباريات مسجل 3 اهداف ومباراتنا فقط سجل 3 اهداف امام ليفربول الى لحظة طرد خرافنبيرخ الـ XG الي استقبلنا كان 0.86 ولو كمل خرافنبيرخ كل شيء كان سيتغير .. عموماً من هذهِ العشوائيات كلها خمن منو المباريات الي لعبناها من دون البطة والمباريات الي لعبناها معه وخمن في المباريات الي لعبنا بها من دون البطة شرقي مع من كان يلعب والـ XG النا كيف كان .. اليوم امام ايبسويتش الشوط الأول استقبلنا XG 0.42 و 4 تسديدات فقط .. اما الشوط الثاني ارتفع المعدل الى 1.66 و فرصتين كبيرتين من غير ضربة الجزاء ( الي زودت المعدل ) عشوائيات وبدائيات لعبيد الأرقام وعشاق المقولات الخرافية والكلام الوهمي الي لا يوجد لهُ روابط ولا ارض خصبة للنقاش .. فتشوا عن الأسباب

Enzo Fernandez vs Ipswitch Town most expensive Deal in PL & City History 🪄🇦🇷😍

Not scared of many things in life, but I am scared of football fans that have ever thought that Enzo Fernandez is better than Caicedo.

Foden now finding himself defending next to Bouaddi because Enzo is tactically inept, calm.

Enzo against PSG proved exactly why he shouldn't be starting in our midfield, against PSG was a midfield disaster. You’re watching football with your eyes closed if you still want him starting over Cherki.

city fans called me a retard when i told them that this guy would nuke cherki's career

Cherki peut faire 20 matches exceptionnels si le 21e est raté il doit tout recommencer

Replaced Reijnders with 125M fat Reijnders

Maresca's treatment of Cherki - A timeline of mismanagement. The backdrop - Maresca joined a City team that had two stars, Haaland and Cherki. Cherki in his first Prem season had 12 league assists even though he played only HALF the available minutes. Yet it became no secret that Maresca wanted to sign Enzo even though City had signed Anderson and were close to completing the Bouaddi deal. GAME 1, Arsenal, Community Shield - Meanwhile he immediately benched Cherki for the first game of the season as preparation for Enzo's arrival and got destroyed 3-0 by Arsenal in the Community shield. GAME 2, Bournemouth, PL - He then benched Cherki again in the first league game and his side was losing so brought him on in the 60th min, he gave two assists and saved Maresca. GAME 3, Crystal Palace, PL - Couldn't bench Cherki again in the next game or fans would have revolted so he started Cherki who scored 2 goals. Cherki in the postgame interview as much as confessed that Maresca had implied he was going to be subbed off at half time, and Cherki had to almost beg for 5 minutes. The goals came after that. Still subbed him off later. D-Day, GAME 4, Coventry, PL - And finally the day arrived. Enzo Fernandez was signed and ready to start for City. What does Maresca do? Start Enzo in a namesake double pivot but it's actually two 10s (Enzo and Cherki). Enzo takes up half the space Cherki was occupying, while also forcing Cherki to run back to defend more or get the ball since Enzo wasn't progressing it enough. The result? City score only one goal against a newly promoted Coventry, their lowest goals of the Prem season coinciding with Enzo's arrival. And of course Maresca makes it a point to sub off Cherki around minute 60. GAME 5, Porto, UCL - Persists with Cherki and Enzo double 10s (Enzo Anderson double pivot on paper). Problems of the previous game persist. Enzo gets an assist and plays all 90 minutes. Cherki gets subbed off at 60 minutes. This is now 5 games into the season and Maresca hasn't kept Cherki on the pitch all game even once. Meanwhile Enzo in City's first UCL game plays all 90. A pattern is emerging even for those who were pretending to be blind before. Onto the next match GAME 6, THE MANCHESTER DERBY - Follows the pattern of every game since Enzo was signed, tedious play. Until? Foden gets sent off inside 25 minutes. No prizes for guessing who got subbed off at half time. Yep, Cherki. Enzo played more than 80. Of course all for the good of the team, the greater good, every injustice is always done under that pretense. GAME 7, CARABAO CUP, Norwich City - The type of game where you rest your key players and start the players you don't really see as starters. Enzo Fernandez doesn't play a single minute. Haaland isn't even in the full squad! Reserves like Rulli start at GK. And of course Mr. Rayan Cherki starts, playing next to Samba and Allan, so you get how unseriously Maresca took the match. Gets subbed off at 45. Scores a goal in between but it's just a domestic cup game. What's more relevant is who started and who didn't. GAME 8, SUNDERLAND, PL - The cracks begin to show Ever since Maresca started playing Enzo and Anderson together, it was blindingly obvious that 1) Anderson would need intense physiotherapy soon for all the work he would have to do and 2) A good transition team would cut this City midfield into ribbons. Sunderland was the first real taste of it. Cherki and Enzo started, both of them scored, Enzo with a brilliant freekick. City looked shaky and conceded 3 but won 5-3 in the end. It's redundant saying it at this point, but of course Maresca subbed off Cherki and kept Enzo on all game. Up next was an interesting match.

explain the ‘serious’ part of ur tweet. also why does our £120M signing need to be moved into our best player’s position? doesn’t make sense does it

Forget Cherki, what does Enzo F do better than Foden as the 10

RT @Flair2Play: Rayan Cherki - Robbed assists Manchester City 2025/26

متفق بنسبة كبيرة للأسف ، بعيداً عن مشاكله الدفاعية هو بيخسر كورة سهلة في مواقف حرجة بسبب انه تقييييل وبطئ جدا صفر مرونة ، لما بيتورط في مساحة ضيقة مش بيعرف يلف ولا يراوغ ولا يتصرف ولا كويس في حمل الكورة ويدخل صراع ثنائي غير ضروري في النهاية (لاعب تاني غيره كان هيبقا عنده حل ويتفادى الدخول في duel اصلا) ويصدر مؤخرته عشان يحاول يكسب خطأ وخلاص ميزته عن ريان شرقي أنه بيجري أكتر منه ، عنده مجهود بدني يعني. لكنه بطة وجسمه مشكلة حتى لو بيركض كتير. ريان شرقي أكتر مرونة بكتير طبعاً وأفضل بفارق مع الكورة. كان صعب الاتنين يكملوا سوا في الملعب الشوط التاني وماريسكا اختار انزو فيرنانديز ..

He has chosen Enzo Fernandez as his hill to die on. He will learn🙂‍↕️🤲

This should be our starting Xi from now on, if we're a serious club.

This is stage 2 of Enzo: Blame others.

Why should Enzo be platformed at 10 for Manchester City? Chance creating machine? No G/A magnet? Not quite Pressing good? Not quite Good dribbler? Not quite Wins ball back well? Not quite Press resistant? Not quite Set pieces? Yes 125m…
