Haven't seen this posted anywhere but thought it deserved it's own thread anyway.
What a team, what a coach !
Another part of Pep’s philosophy is defence-by-attack. If you have the ball, the other side can’t score, and if you press them effectively when they do get the ball, they’re not much more likely to score. Last year Man City set a league record by allowing only 7.9 shots per game. This year it’s dropped even further, to 6.3 shots allowed. How good is that? Right now Swansea, whose attacking problems have been well-chronicled, are last in shots with 8.0 per game. So Man City turn every team they play into noticeably worse than Swansea, in attack anyway.
