10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

[WallyA]

Honestly I think it's as simple as give Cherki and Foden the ball as much as possible and we win the game.

It was a stat about Foden, but throw in Cherki now and I think it's also true.

I still prefer him to make that final pass more often than shooting though.

There were 2 attempts where he shot, that I think an extra pass would have made a better chance... but im being picky.

 

[Chak19]

He's fun isn't he.

Marmoush hates him though.

Lol he was angry he didn't pass it to him on a couple of times, happens all the time.

He's the big reason why I am against splashing 100m+ on players.

You don't need to spend so much money on 1 player. There are good talents everywhere. To do that, you need good scouts though.

 

[bluenova]

Most assists in the Premier League this season - and he's been on the pitch for just over a quarter of the time!

Keep in mind there was a perfect storm to get him

Year left on the contract
Lyon needed cash Asap
Cherki wanted out
There was 0 fight from other teams for him

Lol , look at mins. section

He would have had 2 more assists today if Haaland and Reijnders could finish from a few yards

There are some superb young players available on the continent, but people on here often only see the English media and thus believe we should be chucking five times more on players because they play in the Premiership.

Bollocks. He’s a £100m player at a club who were forced to sell.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Ha. This is impressive, but also the most 'Premier League with no KDB' stat you'll ever see.

He also wanted us. He had turned down interest from elsewhere in January.

[jollylescott]

I can't believe he's three years younger than Phil! We will be entertained for years to come!

 

[mancboy]

Im annoyed that haaland missed that easy chance as that assist would have been better than the foden one, he sat 2 players down in the space of a phonebox.

 

[Gabriel]

There’ll be a lot of ooh la la about his assist to Foden, but the volleyed pass back out after the corner saw me drop my viennoiserie. Outrageous.

 

[Sam69]

Technically, he's on another level. If he'd finished the match with three or four assists, it wouldn't have been a scandal.

That cut inside in tight spaces and that silky-smooth pass to Haaland...MAMMAMIIIIA!

 

[tackeds]

This lad is a joke. What a player! Lucky us!

It’s a barm

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Needs to be allowed do his own thing.
He doesn't look the player that is going to chase back, run for 90 minutes and always make the right decision.
If the other players recognise this and have to compensate for this, he will get a great addition

 

[Gingers Dad]

he’s just a chance creating machine

He reminds me of someone
