Is Enzo Maresca overcomplicating things at Manchester City? After back-to-back Premier League defeats, City's brilliant start is beginning to unravel, and some familiar problems are returning.

 ⁨@Its-LB⁩  joins Steven McInerney for The City Social, a podcast brought to you by the Esteemed Kompany YouTube channel. We discuss Maresca's questionable decisions, City's defensive mistakes, the lack of reliable goalscorers and why Nico O'Reilly needs to be starting.

Do Manchester City lack balance under Enzo Maresca?

Manchester City have an embarrassment of riches in midfield, but can Enzo Maresca really accommodate Ayyoub Bouaddi, Rayan Cherki, Enzo Fernández and Elliot Anderson in the same team? And more importantly, should he? After City's thrilling 4-2 defeat to PSG, there are some fascinating decisions to make.

Adam Monk joins Steven McInerney for The City Social, a podcast brought to you by the Esteemed Kompany YouTube channel.

We also discuss Bouaddi's enormous potential, Cherki's potential and profile, whether Enzo Fernández could lose his place, Maresca's tactical decisions ag...

Manchester City may have lost 4-2 to PSG, but there was plenty to be encouraged by, especially the performances of Ayyoub Bouaddi and Elliot Anderson. Is it time for Enzo Maresca to build his midfield around them?

I discuss Bouaddi's brilliance, Maresca's tactical changes, City's incredible second-half response and much more in five things learned from PSG 4-2 Man City.

Manchester City legend Nicky Weaver joins Steven McInerney on The City Social to discuss Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ederson, James Trafford and the evolution of modern goalkeeping.

Nicky explains how Donnarumma has changed Manchester City, why Ederson never received the appreciation he deserved and why James Trafford still has the potential to reach the very top.

We also revisit Nicky’s remarkable City career, his record-breaking first season, Joe Royle, Wembley 1999, that iconic celebration and what Manchester City still means to him today.

Yeah, Manchester City's attack is starting to look pretty ridiculous. Haaland is a machine as always, Cherki is majestic, Semenyo is absolutely lethal and the depth behind them is enormous. There's Doku returning, Ndiaye offering another option, Enzo Fernandez and Foden contributing while young pl ayers like McAidoo and Samba are already making an impact. To put it simply... Man City now have the best attack in the Premier League. www.esteemedkompany.com 🔔 Subscribe for Man City videos: bit.ly/EsteemedKompany ✍️ Become a channel member: youtube.com/esteemedkompany/join 🤝 Support on Patreon: patreon.com/esteemedkompany Esteemed Kompany.

So... how good are Manchester City actually?

The results have been remarkable so far under Enzo Maresca, but the chaotic 5-3 win over Sunderland showed both sides of this new Manchester City. Going forward, City can look frightening. Defensively, there's clearly still plenty to improve.

Five things we learned from City's exceptional 5-0 win over Norwich. It was a performace that gave us another glimpse of the incredible depth Enzo Maresca now has at his disposal, and it's starting to feel like City have an answer almost everywhere. In today's Five Things Learned, I look at the sheer depth of this new City squad, whether Floyd Samba could emerge as an internal back-up to Erling Haaland, Ryan McAidoo's fearless rise, the raw potential of Allan and the remarkable versatility Maresca now has throughout his team. www.esteemedkompany.com 🔔 Subscribe for Man City videos: bit.ly...

Former Manchester City captain and legend Andy Morrison joins me for one of the most honest, insightful and memorable conversations I’ve ever been involved in.

Andy opens up about his ongoing recovery from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, his difficult journey through football, nearly 28 years of sobriety and the conversation with Joe Royle that helped change his life.

We also revisit his arrival at a struggling Manchester City, becoming captain, the extraordinary 1999 play-off final against Gillingham and the role that team played in dragging City back from its lowest point.

Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City are nothing like I expected. Yeah, the obvious Pep Guardiola influence remains, but this City side already feels more aggressive, physical, direct and adaptable than many of us anticipated. It's genuinely different. From the incredibly disciplined Champions League victory in Porto to the intense, battling performance that led to winning the Manchester derby with ten men, Maresca has shown tactical flexibility, courage and an immediate trust in new signings such as Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez, Iliman Ndiaye, Marc Guehi and Ayyoub Bouaddi. He clearly isn’t a Pep Guardiola clone, and this is very much...

5 things we learned from Manchester City’s huge 1-0 victory away at Manchester United in the Manchester derby.

City were reduced to ten men after Phil Foden’s first-half red card, but Enzo Maresca’s side showed incredible fight, hunger and togetherness to somehow come away from Old Trafford with all three points thanks to Erling Haaland’s winner.

Five things we learned from Manchester City’s brilliant 2-0 victory away at Porto in the Champions League.

Erling Haaland scored twice as Enzo Maresca’s side battled through a difficult night at the Estádio do Dragão and produced arguably their best performance of the season so far.

But the evening also belonged to Ayyoub Bouaddi. The 18-year-old delivered a remarkably mature performance on his full Champions League debut and showed exactly why Manchester City believe they have signed such a special talent.

Enzo Maresca has no excuses now. Manchester City have completely rebuilt their squad following Pep Guardiola’s departure, bringing in Enzo Fernández, Elliot Anderson, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Iliman Ndiaye, Allan Elias and Gerónimo Rulli. It's a squad full of vibrancy and creativity, and most importantly energy and hunger.

After an encouraging start to the new Premier League season and an emphatic victory over Crystal Palace, Maresca has been given the quality and depth required to challenge for the biggest trophies. He still deserves patience, but after receiving this level of backing, Manchester City cann...

Manchester City’s 26/27 summer transfer window is finally done, but just how good was it? Hugo Viana and Manchester City had a huge overhaul to oversee, with legends such as Ake, Stones, Rodri and Bernardo all departing, alongside Marmoush, Reijnders, Savinho and several other players. City secured deals for Ayyoub Bouaddi, Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez, Allan Elias, Geronimo Rulli and Iliman Ndiaye, while also tying down Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol, Abdukodir Khusanov and Jeremy Doku to new contracts.
