Apart from this being the standard hatchet job by the Uber friendly Spanish media.....there are two options - give the thug Rudiger someone to mark and keep him occupied.....or play a false 9 (Alvarez) and give him no one to focus on....

I thought he had a good game vs Madrid, no forward can score every match. He even tracked back a couple of times chasing their wing heeled winger.

Yes and whilst their best players are being dragged out of position by EH9 it does allow City to create chances

Exactly.
Mind games from the Spanish media which I am sure Pep is well acquainted with.
EH9 worked hard last Weds - making them concentrate on him and his threat.....and that's part of his job too.
