Kung Fu lessons for Aguero

Argentine striker Sergio Aguero is currently cooling his heels serving out his four-match suspension for attempting a cowardly kick at Chelsea’s David Luiz when the two sides met last month. Having seen this act of petulance, Pep Guardiola might have arranged for Kung Fu classes for Aguero noting that his kicking might need an outlet while also noting that it might help him improve his finishing in the long run.

Face masks of Claudio Bravo

Claudio Bravo is just about everybody’s favourite goalkeeper to have a go at. He moves his feet, they say he moves his feet too much, he stays still, they say he’s too immobile for a goalkeeper.

Whatever be the case, when City concede, as they have often done the last 60 days, Bravo’s name is quickly in the mix. So Guardiola would do well to order 20,000 face masks bearing the Chilean’s face and distribute it to all those in the Etihad Stadium to beat his detractors to the punch and proclaim ‘We are Claudio’. Bravo!
