10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

I would like to see something like:

WITHOUT BALL 4-2-3-1
Donnarumma
Matheus N., Khusanov, Rúben, Gvardiol
Reijnders, Nico
Cherki, Foden, Doku
Haaland

WITH BALL 3-2-4-1
Donnarumma
Khusanov, Rúben, Gvardiol
Reijnders, Nico
Matheus N., Cherki, Foden, Doku
Haaland

That way with Matheus acting like the RW in attack, Cherki could defend in the side and attack in the middle along Foden. Also we gain solidity with defensive midfielder duo (even Nico + Rodri when fit).

Today is the day? Thank you Pep!

(Hope Matheus as RW in attack and Cherki & Foden in the middle, we'll see)

Man started celebrating when Haaland started 1v1

Goddamn, what a player

 

[SambaStyle]

Amazing player

 

[Monkfish]

Sees things other players just don’t

Haaland is going to love him

Indispensable. Mustn't be dropped like ever. His work rate doubled since his early days in Lyon.

 

[MichaelBBack]

He will be our best creative outlet by a fucking country mile as long as he starts games consistently. He's a superstar in the making.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Cherki already celebrating his assist!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Looks a real player. Two fantastic assists. Just needs to get fully match fit now.

 

[Chak19]

Brilliant first half, a bit frustrating in the second because he lost the ball a few time including a daft nutmeg attempt that almost led to an equaliser, but he's a bit like Kev where you have to accept that he's going to give the ball away sometimes because he creates so many chances.

Kinda plays like a love child of D. Silva and Ozil. Think he has a better shot than both though.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

The fact he won more tackles than any of our other players is just the icing on the cake. Incredible application allied with otherworldly ability

 

[Gobshiight]

Key player already

 

[citytill1die84]

Class

Spot on. We also have to remember that he is at the start of his journey with us. Cherishing his maverick tendencies while instilling a little more discipline at certain times is the challenge of exceptional coaches with an exceptionally gifted player.

Needs a run of games now,, interesting to see how he plays once he has settled in.
Him and Halland, have some chemistry.
