Pep: if you play well you run less. Enzo Maresca is doing a fabulous job at Chelsea, developing young players.
I hope England to do well in the World Cup #ManCity

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: I haven’t spoken to Donnarumma about his bookings - he has four.
Fulham will be a tough opponent. They make it difficult for the opponents. Rodri is not ready yet, i don’t know about the weekend. #ManCity

Pep: Bernardo will decide with his family what he will do (contract runs out at the end of the season)
Of course I would love him to stay.
I have an incredible opinion of Daniel Farke at Leeds #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

Josko: I’m happy we are all fit, which makes it easier but we have a lot of work to do.
We don’t want to repeat what happened last season. We want to win every game.
Last season was for me the worst season, I couldn’t sleep at night. I’m glad that’s behind us. #ManCity

Josko: I’m sure from now things will be much easier. It’s normal that we are all frustrated after the game at Newcastle and refereeing decisions.
Two months ago we were in a worse situation in the Premier League than now. We will see at the end. #ManCity

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.
Losing 4 games in 12 in Premier League means we definitely have to improve. #ManCity

Pep: apart from Rodri & Kovacic everyone else is available. It won’t be long until Rodri is back.
We are progressing well in this phase of the Champions League. They are third in Bundesliga so very tough. #ManCity

Happy with Nico O’Reilly, hopefully he can remain stable but so happy for him and the academy #ManCity

Pep: a team as strong as Arsenal, I have the feeling won’t drop too many points. At the same time we are in November. Now we play every three days until March and our aim is to be there.
Everybody is fit apart from Kovacic & Rodri, though he continues to make good steps. #ManCity

Pep: I agree with Alex Ferguson that football is about the players, it’s not false humility from me. Working hard is the key.
If Arsenal continue they way they are going it will be impossible to catch them but they have to come here and you never know what can change. #ManCity
