There's no rush; he has a contract until 2027 (he'll be 31). He'll ease back into things, and if all goes well, he'll be fresh and at 100% fitness from January/February onwards, the period when we'll need him most. Until then, the team is learning and getting used to playing without him.

I prefer to bet on the quartet of Cherki, Foden, Doku, Haaland who will set the Etihad on fire.

We mustn't change anything in our defensive line. We can't praise O'Reilly's qualities and then change his position or leave him out because he'll be defending against an older Salah. That would send the wrong message to the player, a message of fear that our team will receive, and a...

They'll likely gain the upper hand in terms of intensity and physical battle in midfield, but we'll dominate them technically. We need to let them have a little more possession (55-60 %). They have the same problem defending by dropping back. We can really hurt them with direct, central play...

This match demands personality and audacity, and Cherki has plenty of that. He's the one who will demand the ball to escape the press, he's the one who will rally the crowd, making the stakes seem trivial and relieving the pressure that might otherwise overwhelm some players. They'll probably...

I'm not even asking for a simulation; I'm just asking that we give the same importance to the foul play as to the others, that we use the same tools as our opponents, the referee consult VAR, and the only reason he didn't consult VAR is that Doku got up in 10 seconds. The tackle was violent...

Excellent, especially in the first half, he intercepted and recovered countless balls. After an hour of play, we sensed some fatigue, which is understandable; he was playing his third match in seven days after playing the full 90 minutes against Swensea and then Bournemouth.

Our players are very kind and naive; they need to be briefed by the staff. Doku should never get up quickly and stay on the ground and be stretchered off. Guirassy would have been sent off every day; any Real Madrid player would have done the same. We still lack experience.

He's back, it's a joy to see him play and showcase his talent.

He hesitated to release Erling, taking one or two extra touches, but with time he'll get used to having a monster up front and needing to pass him the ball first time, and the cyborg will do the rest. A beautiful goal and a lovely backheel from Ait Nouri to escape a 2v1 press.

He was disastrous here in France at Marseille before signing for Everton.

At 19 years old, we need to take a look at how he will continue his progress this season with Feyenoord.

I already explained at length in June why he didn't sign despite PSG's offer and after discussions with Luis Enrique and Luis Compos, why he didn't sign for Dortmund after Terzic was replaced by Sahin, and why he didn't sign for Liverpool despite his meeting with Slot in the south of France... I...
