Just like any other team that had been managed by Pep Guardiola, Manchester City too love controlling the game and they are so good that even a single sign of weakness from the opposition will make them unstoppable.

But this obsession for total control of the match flow has its own share of flaws and that weakness was quite evident against Leicester City. Right until the 19th minute of the game, City looked at ease with passes flowing nicely from the midfield to the forwards.

A few minutes after Albrighton’s equalizer, City wanted to force mistakes from the opposition and that was the point where they started losing their grasp on the game. Sterling was kept quiet by some good marking from Leicester City defenders and thus Aguero had to drop off to receive the passes.
