That baby face can't be aggressive; he plays football, he doesn't do ballet.

Kennet is a signing for the future; a one- or two-season loan to Leverkusen or another top Bundesliga club would be perfect for him to continue developing at home. Maza is for this summer; he can play as an 8 or 10, he's the perfect replacement for Bernardo, Maza is different from Cherki, he...

He trained and came through the ranks at Hertha BSC, just like Ibrahim Maza. I hope we manage to get both of them.

Kayode Semenyo on the same side, ball control and technically, you have to get your neck wet

Doku is far away; no one is approaching him. Kayode is still searching for his kidneys on the Etihad pitch.

We conceded the equalizer against West Ham from a corner (their only shot of the game). We also conceded the second goal against Everton from a corner; O'Brien won his duel against Haaland and Nico Gonzalez by diving between them at the near post. Our corner defense cost us four points in the...

In the lead-up to Everton's first goal following Guehi's error, Khusanov won the aerial duel and Bernardo lost possession of the second ball in a ground challenge.

We need to pray about set pieces, corners, and Brentford's long throw-ins, especially with the aerial game of Ake, Guehi, Bernardo, Reijnders, Cherki, and Doku.

For a player to request a transfer, his agent must be able to come up with an offer that satisfies the club (£50M).

I had the feeling he continued to play while still hampered after the blow he received. His absence today confirms this.

Yes, it's been over 12 months since his contract extension was announced. The player isn't happy with his status at the club and his playing time; logically, he's behind Kvara on the left and Doué on the right. And even in terms of salary, PSG isn't offering him what he's asking for. Liverpool...

Barcola prefers to play on the left, but Kvara is better; he's not good on the right, which is why Doué plays ahead of him. He's looking for a place where he's guaranteed a starting spot on the left (the position Doku occupies).

Nunes failed as a midfielder, the position for which he was recruited. That said, given Nico Gonzalez's age and what he has shown, we must be patient with him.

Reijnders will also be 28 this summer. I would take Valverde in his place without hesitation if Real Madrid no longer wants him.

We need him against Chelsea and Bournemouth away from home. We should be able to get the job done without him at home against Brentford and Crystal Palace.

Sporting director Luis Compos is also Portuguese

Thank you, and this only happens when Rodri isn't there. Our midfielders Bernardo and Nico aren't able to play with their backs to goal under intense pressure; you don't need to be a great tactician or analyst to see it, it's so obvious, and that's why our defense is struggling, we've seen it...
