I posted this in the MotM thread but will repeat it here.......
Credit to Guardiola - his perseverance is paying off. The players are showing signs of ‘getting’ his message. For example - Agüero’s movement to collect the ball in the centre circle created the space for Sterling’s first, his unselfish pass across the six yard box set up Sterling for his second & he set Sané up for what should have been his second goal but he fluffed it. Last season the media was aghast and Guardiola was questioned for selecting Jesus over Agüero but he stuck to his guns, demanded more and has created a more ‘Team oriented’ Sergio Agüero - our goal scoring this season is in no small part, I suggest, down to this ethic as much as other factors.
I don’t expect the coach will get much credit from the hacks though. When we win like this they will credit the ‘quality of the players’, the ‘amount of money spent’ and ‘my mother could manage that team with the talent at his disposal’ whilst things went a bit awry last season they seemed to point the finger at the coach and whether he ‘got the Premier League’ and questioned whether he knew what he was doing.
