I love him,so calm and unruffled,next to vinny would be a dream

Yet to be given a real test defensively and that was most peoples concerns but he can only play against what's on the field. Not put a foot wrong yet and looks like he's been at City for years, he's going to be here for a very long time.

Pep's got the hots for him.


Tongue in cheek, really is taking him under his wing.

Just got in from the game but did anyone else see Pep call him over to the touch line when we had a corner in the first half and then go absolutely mental at him for about 30 seconds,then when he was subbed Pep have another long talk with him but he wasn't as animated

That's the way Pep teaches. There's a video somewhere of Pep pulling aside a Bayern player right after the game and having the same kind of animated discussion.

Joshua Kimmich. He just had a MOTM performance against Dortmund and in between full time and extra time Pep gave him a massive lecture. He's not angry with them or bollocking them, he's just coaching.

Pep mentioned in the PC that he was telling Stones, why the hell Stones, Fernando & Kolarov were playing last line against their ONE striker. Why none of the three broke lines? Hope Stones understood :)

Yeah, it looks serious but just seems to be Pep's way. Nobody could accuse him of complacency.

Agree with everyone about Stones. No real pressure yet but great start and looks custom-made for us.

Saw that too, just the teacher teaching. He is going to learn and learn fast, can seriously see him end up as our captain in 5 years.
