That Perrone looks good with the ball at his feet.

Seems more suited to us than Phillips - what a calamity he is. Bony levels of not at this teams standard.

Phillips just looks REALLY slow and seems to always get caught on the ball.

I just don’t think he’s mentally quick enough for Pep’s tactics. He’d be fine at a kick and rush type team - Liverpool he’d probably be spot on for. But for us I don’t think he’s quick enough mentally

Can’t downplay how much it annoys me someone like Phillips has gone on this tour and lads like Tommy Doyle that are blue through and through and most importantly - wouldn’t do any worse, are sat at home.

Maybe he's on tour to be in the shop window?

His last two performances have probably knocked £10m off then!

Is Rico a full back though? Seems a genuine all-over-the-place Roy of the Rovers to me. Where did he play when captaining the young teams?

Possibly Pep’s Lahm. What was the Inter player called that played RB, LB, CB, DFM….Zanetti?

Right back until Pep started work with him with the potential he saw. Not sure I can see him ever being an old fashioned full back ever again. He has too much intelligence and quality for that role.

RE Lewis, its clear that Pep loves him, played him a lot for an 18 year old.
Sign that contract, you know its the right thing to do.

Apparently 20,000 fans turned up in Seoul to watch City train. Huge queues in Japan to buy City merchandise.
