Title: Rodri’s injury meant great alchemist Pep Guardiola needed to mix a new formula, writes MATT BARLOW – but so many of his favourite potions are losing their magic
MATT BARLOW reflects on Manchester City’s recent performance against Tottenham, stating that Pep Guardiola has had to adapt due to Rodri’s injury. However, he notes that some of the Spaniard’s trusted tactics have lost their potency.
“Rodri’s injury forced Guardiola to get creative and concoct a new recipe for success,” wrote BARLOW in his latest article. “However, what was striking about Manchester City’s performance against Tottenham Hotspur is how many of the manager’s go-to moves were, well, losing their magic.”
BARLOW highlights that while Pep has successfully adapted to the absence of Rodri, it seems that some of his most trusted strategies have become ineffective.
