After the 5-2 defeat Glasner gave a press conference with a warning to Pep (perhaps said in jest).
It was like an opening shot in the warfare that hopefully doesn't come back to bite him.
I saw that defeat in a different light .
We were 2-0 up ( should have been 3) and were cruising it in the first half with City clueless as to how to stop Sarr and Munoz down the right.
Pep changed it, shut the corridor that Munoz and Sarr were exploiting and turned the tables with our centre halves having nobody to mark as their attacking players drifted around the final third.
If anything it was Pep that found the solution in that particular game.
Therefore it's not immediately clear, at least to me, why City couldn't play the same way again (i.e block Munoz and Sarr , make our centre backs redundant by giving them nobody to mark).
Of course if Haaaland plays, this also changes the dynamic.
Should be interesting to see how it plays out.
