Pep: if you play well you run less. Enzo Maresca is doing a fabulous job at Chelsea, developing young players.

Pep: Rodri is not available this weekend but he is getting better. Ask me again if he’s available for that game.
If I’d been at home watching Fulham v City I’d have been happy. It must be game of the week. #ManCity

Pep: Leeds & Fulham didn’t have too many shots but scored 6 goals against us. We need to improve that but we scored 8 so there are both sides to it. Of course we have to improve defensively.
O’Reilly is playing really well, the only reason Ait-Nouri doesn’t play #ManCity

Pep: Sunderland deserve to be where they are. It will be a challenge against us.
I have a different excitement now than when I managed my first game against them when I first came.
I don’t have the words for my journey here since #ManCity

Pep: Fulham is now forgotten, hopefully we learn from it. Of course I’m concerned and I try to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I’ve been a big fan of Marco Silva for a long time.
It’s part of our growth. #ManCity

Pep: Rodri’s hamstring keeps him out again tomorrow but he’s getting close. I always expect my players to step up.
We didn’t try against Bayer, and I still have a lot of confidence in them. Maybe I think higher in them than they do themselves. #ManCity

Josko: it was nice to win player of the year last season, but we didn’t win anything which is what I want to do.
I think Kovacic is coming back to the training ground today, but maybe we’ll miss him for 3-4 months. #ManCity

We don’t want to repeat what happened last season. We want to win every game.

Pep: of course I would prefer Echeverri to play more often for Leverkusen.
I apologised to the cameraman for what I did at Newcastle. I am embarrassed by what happened. I’m an emotional guy.
