[QUOTE="Philby, post: 6981710, member: 1802"] Yep. Spot on. Pep's style, when implemented well by top quality energetic players, is incredibly hard for middle & lower table teams to combat. Often the best they can hope for is a "back to the wall" defensive performance to sneak a draw - or something spectacular from distance (...my favourite below). Teams can't get sustain enough possession deep enough in City's defensive third to do them a whole lot of damage...and City are adept at killing potentially dangerous moves early with tactical fouling. [MEDIA=youtube]lAzYAQy8r9U[/MEDIA] It also feels like the further drift towards foreign managers & more aesthetically pleasing styles of play in the PL means there are now very few sides who are set up to get some joy out of City with a more agricultural approach.
