Man CityWhips in four crosses
Reijnders registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Tuesday's 2-1 loss versus Real Madrid.
Analysis: Reijnders was called into the starting XI as City tried to dig out of a hole, providing the club with a bit more playmaking and athleticism in the midfield. However, he would fail to have much success against the Spanish giants, recording a few significant stats that would amount to nothing. He is without a goal contribution in all competitions since Jan. 10 in FA Cup play, although he has only started in five games since then, another City player not seeing enough time following a summer transfer.
Fires in three shots
Reijnders generated three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-1 defeat versus Glimt.
Analysis: Reijnders had returned to the starting XI Tuesday after he was on the bench for the loss to United, playing the full 90 minutes. He would record three shots to no avail, with only one hitting the target. He is still yet to bag a goal in UCL play this season in seven appearances (five starts).
Claims goal
Reijnders scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Chelsea.
Analysis: Reijnders would come back into the starting XI Sunday and that would lead to another goal, finding the back of the net in the 42nd minute. This marks his third goal in their past four games, now earning a goal in three straight starts. He now has five goals and two assists in 19 appearances (15 starts) this season.
Nets opening goal
Reijnders scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Reijnders would open the scoring Saturday, with the midfielder finding the back of the net in the 48th minute. This is his second straight game with a goal, now with three in their past five league games. That said, he is up to six goal contributions in the league this season, with four coming as goals.
Finds back of net
Reijnders scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 victory over West Ham United.
Analysis: Reijnders came up with the second goal of the match Saturday to put the game to rest in many people's eyes, finding the back of the net just ahead of halftime. This is his second goal in his past four league appearances, with three goals in league play. He also had two assists, with five goal contributions in 16 appearances (13 starts).
Scores goal
Reijnders scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over Fulham.
Analysis: Reijnders would find the net for the second goal of the match Tuesday, with the midfielder slipping through for a one-on-one goal in the 37th minute. This is the Dutch midfielder's first goal in a long time, his last goal coming in their season opener. He now has four goal contributions this season, with two goals and two assists in 13 appearances (11 starts).
Leads team in crosses
Reijnders had two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.
Analysis: Reijnders couldn't match his last UCL appearance, where he earned two assists, earning two chances created and eight crosses Tuesday, but with no goal contribution. That said, the midfielder remains with those two assists as his only goal contributions in his past ten appearances, a bit of a rough spell after a great start to life with City.
Two assists Wednesday
Reijnders assisted twice to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 4-1 win against Borussia Dortmund.
Analysis: Reijnders had himself a day in tghe midfield Wednesday, recording two assists after finding Phil Foden in the 22nd and 57th minute for a pair of assists. This is his first goal contribution in some time, with his last coming seven games ago. He still only has scored one goal all season but does have five assists in 14 appearances between UCL and league play.
Fires in three shots
Reijnders generated three shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton.
Analysis: Reijnders would see a decent performance with his three shots and two chances created Saturday, but was unable to turn those into a goal contribution. That said, he has gone his past three appearances with goal contribution and hasn't earned a goal since the opener, remaining at three goal contributions this campaign.
Fires off five shots
Reijnders registered five shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Monaco.
Analysis: Reijnders had a successful match in Monaco despite not finding a goal or an assist, recording two crosses, three chances created and five shots in the draw. The midfielder still has yet to miss a start all season, appearing to be the club's replacement for Kevin De Bruyne in the playmaking department.
Bags another assist
Reijnders assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
Analysis: Reijnders would see a solid performance in the midfield Sunday, recording one shot, two chances created and two crosses. However, his most important moment came in the ninth minute, finding Erling Haaland on a through ball for the opener. He has now bagged two straight games with an assist after one in UCL play, now having two assists in five Premier League appearances.
Records assist
Reijnders assisted once to go with five shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Napoli.
Analysis: Reijnders was back with a goal contribution for the first time since the season opener, with the midfielder finding Jeremy Doku in the 65th minute. This gives him a goal contribution in his first UCL match since joining the club. He continues to be a regular playmaker with two crosses, two chances created and five crosses in the attack as well.
Registers three shots
Reijnders recorded three shots (one on goal) and one corner in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Manchester United.
Analysis: Reijnders earned a fourth straight start to begin his City career, working the middle of the field for his first Manchester Derby. He would record one chance created and three shots, coming close to a goal early but firing it straight at the keeper. He still has yet to see a goal contribution since the opener, although he remains productive in the midfield.
