Pep Guardiola: “Juanma [Lillo] said to me [about goal difference], but right now I don't think about that!”
“Today he [Ilkay Gundogan] played at a level that we know he can do it... The game in Newcastle was not really good, maybe one of the worst I've seen of him in the last eight or nine years... He played a fantastic game today!”
“We're so happy for him [James McAtee]! He's adorable, all the guys love him... He moves really well in small spaces. It will be a good boost, 'OK I'm part of that!' We want to make him feel part of the group, and able to play without a doubt. Sometimes it looks like we're more confident in him than himself.”

Pep Guardiola: “The way Rico [Lewis] is playing, there are no words. He does everything.”
“I always had the feeling I believe more he [James McAtee] can play at Man City than he does. Hopefully minutes help... Of course he'll not be a regular this season but in a lot of games he'll help and when like today I can always count on him.”

Kalvin Phillips on Pep Guardiola’s ‘overweight’ comments: “That narrative on social media kind of grew and grew. Every club that I'd go to, I spoke to, like the manager and the nutritionist and stuff like that, they'd always speak about weight before they'd say anything else…”
Kalvin Phillips: “It got to the point where it peed me off a little. I was getting quite frustrated, but then now I've come to Ipswich - the manager's an unbelievable person as well as a manager. We spoke about all my past stuff that happened in my career…” [via BBCSounds]
