10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

If Pep wants to get back to his best as it were he needs to build his team around Cherki... Cutting off his nose adage applies with the constant benching him.

Superb tonight
He is definitely the player to build around him. He needs more time. At the moment he makes a lot of bad decisions and gives the ball away. But he can reach the start like KDB did for us.
 
I swear I watched a different game, looked positive, but the final ball or shot was off every single time. Foden/Savinho would be getting hammered for a performance like that.

The pass to Semenyo was arguably one of the best we’ve seen all season. I’m afraid Cherki is a 3* Michelin chef being asked to serve the queue at Greggs.

I forgot about that pass, but still, Semenyo had a lot to do.

Cherki is so fucking lazy off the ball. He drives me up a wall at times. His shot early in the game was straight at Courtois, not releasing Doku earlier, etc. I didn't think he was nearly as good as Doku or Khusanov, for example.

Watched a different game. He created two chances in the first few minutes of the game. He’s brilliant and should be starting every game.

It's genuinely fucking weird what is going on with Cherki. He's either good enough to be our new KDB and he should be starting every game he's able to in order to build proper chemistry with everyone around him, or he isn't, in which case why on earth did we sign him at all? Why are we signing these players who Pep doesn't already have clear ideas how to use?

Semenyo’s first touch often suggests that Donald Trump has been buying him his boots.

If we’re digging out current players, then a few more need to see the spade before Cherki.

This has got to be a wind-up.

Either this or as the saying goes you should have gone to SpecSavers.

Bloke was all over the pitch tonight…did you not even see him single-handedly close down 5 Real Madrid players from one touch line to another & pressure them into a throw in whilst Haaland was idly watching by?
 
Top player in the making.

It’s been disappointing to see so many average (for our previous standards) players signed over the last three years, but this lad is going to be a cracking player.

Still a lot to learn but he’s got magic feet and a great football brain.

More signings like Cherki, Gvardiol and Khusanov please City!
