10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

Pep's never going to like someone showboating, but Cherki plays his best football when he's in that cocky mindset. He's an unbelievable player that we need to build the team around. He worked his socks off as well today, chasing absolutely everything. White took him out for the kick ups and got booked for it, and we got a free kick so it helped in seeing the game out anyway.

If Pep tries to restrict him from doing those things we might lose his overall quality, he's a player who has to express himself.

Nail on head.

Despite what some visually impaired observers say, he puts a shift in. Never more than yesterday. Too many in football have forgotten that’s it is (or was) an entertainment business and this guy can produce top drawer entertainment of an impactful variety.
 
I think football will be finally dead when stuff like yesterday will be offensive.
I would be fuming if I was an arse fan, but for the rest of the world, it was majestic.

Missed a proper baller since Ali B.
 
Generally not a fan of needless showboating as it brings nothing to the table and up to that point, Cherki had had a good game but not a great game. however in this instance, it rattled Arsenal and immediately got White booked, that justifies it entirely and nullifies any conversation around it taking the piss or being disrespectful. I'd have him do it every single game if that was always the result.
 
It's mad that we've last creative players over the years and been able to bring in genius after genius.

This lad is unbelievable, so so gifted on the ball, Arsenal couldn't get near him.
 
He's our number 10 always, no more playing Semenyo there.
