33 | Nico O'Reilly - 2025/26

[TonyM]

Is his tick less frequent recently? Might be my imagination but I wonder if it becomes rare as he feels more confident. Great lad and a pleasure to see any City kid doing so well.

 

[Irishblue93]

Makes back to back squads and no lewis skelly. Hopefully gets a start this time round and can nail down a spot

 

[waspish]

Seen if skelly the lightweight

 

[ninjamonkey]

Will surely make his debut next week. I think just being in the camp itself will be a better experience for him though, a week of training where he is up against saka/Bowen every session learning a different, more authodox defensive role will do him a lot of good.

 

[jamesha]

"Typical City" that after a decade of not having a specialist left back in the squad that we sign one and then a youth team graduate keeps him out of the team. It will be interesting to see where Nico ends up playing in the long term. His physique screams CDM but not sure that will be his role.

I think I posted this last week but worth posting again
He has the potential to be our Gareth Bale - very strong, very quick and knows where the net is
It’s a big shout but I like big shouts - after the charity shield V United I said he was Viera and Rodri rolled into one….

He’s more Maldini with the attacking talent of Messi.

Been a hot minute since we had a leftback pocket Salah... Superb performance

 

[jollylescott]

Salah is hidden somewhere in Nico's pocket between his car keys and a few coins.

What a brilliant game by young Nico!!

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Nico O'Reilly might have just locked down the LB position for a decade..

Funny how we go to not having a left back for a decade to having the best one in Europe!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

We’ve found a real one here. This guy is some player.

 

[Blue Llama]

If it wasn't for Doku's performance he would be my MOM.

 

[WallyA]

Defensive monster, one of the best LBs in the world.

Ait Nouri is going to really struggle to displace O’Reilly on current form. He’s absolutely made that spot his own.

 

[oldius]

World class potential, and humble with it. When it's one of your own it is even sweeter.

yeah ,i think Ait Nouri currently doesn´t stand a chance.

RAN is gonna have to learn another position.

I hear the Etihad is always looking for chips/ fries to be delivered and cooked on time!

Huge game from Nico, wasn't just Salah he took out of the game, every corner after the one they had disallowed he marked van dyke out of it, huge game

 

[denTTony]

Getting better with every game, Salah ever a threat
