#5 Pep Guardiola gets his tactics completely wrong
Trending
Pep Guardiola has been lauded for his tactics on many occasions but Manchester City’s game against Leicester City was a classic example of how dangerous Leicester City can be when given the space to counter-attack. It looks like Guardiola had learnt nothing from Leicester's title winning campaign last season after he played a defensive high line.
The Foxes capitalised on this to shock City with three fantastic goals within the half-hour mark. Yet another mistake from John Stones gave the Foxes a fourth in the second half. However, all blame must not be put on Guardiola as his players looked in absolute shambles in the first half and misplaced too many passes for a Pep Guardiola team.
#6 Clinical Costa gives Chelsea another win
While Diego Costa was always a great striker, he seems to be on a different level this season. The Spaniard was one of the players most affected by Conte’s arrival. Antonio Conte recognised Costa’s talent and has done a fantastic job by shaping him into a much better player. However, it isn’t Costa’s skill that Conte has anything to do with, but his temperament and behaviour.
The striker has a reputation for being too aggressive and often getting into unnecessary brawls on the field. Conte identified this as passion and turned the negativity of his passion into positive aggression, something that has made Costa even more dangerous.
With 12 goals already this season, the Spaniard is proving to be one of the best strikers in the world at the moment.
