#6 Defensive issues a big worry for Pep
Trending
Manchester City dropped points yet again as another defensive error led to a goal for the opposition and this time it was John Stones who was to blame. In the game against Barcelona, Gundogan’s back pass to Otamendi ended up with Suarez assisting Messi for his third goal on the night. So why are Manchester City giving away so many goals with defensive errors?
It clearly looks like the defence has not yet figured out the former Barcelona manager’s system. While the Manchester City defenders are undoubtedly great at distributing the ball from the back, they are vulnerable on the counter.
Pep will have to look into the issue and hope for Stones, Kompany and Otamendi to be calm in defence and not rush into hasty passes. Fernadinho looks to be the only player who can play his way out of pressure from the opponents in the City backline.
