For those that don't want to read it, it's more backhanded praise working into the tactical fouls angle. Says that we concede the most fouls relative to our possession stats.


The last sentence in case you don't wish to provide his article with clicks:
"Some might even consider them a subtle form of 'anti-football'."

It's good, isn't it? Find some stats and twist them to make a 'story'.
Amazingly he did find a manager to quote at length about City and fouling. One J Eyegouger c/o the Lowry.
 
"Mourinho, the rival who called out Guardiola's strategy, has been deploying it for years and his United side were last season's worst offenders, close to 27 per cent above the Premier League average.

In 2015-16 Louis van Gaal's last United side managed not only to have the highest foul count in the division (472) but also the highest rate per minute out of possession, some 30 per cent above average."

So he could have highlighted the issue of tactical fouling (nothing new) in either of the previous two seasons when United topped the charts. But he didn't. Instead he buries the fact in a lengthy, contentious article about tactical fouling by City. You've got to laugh at his brass neck.
