In a recent post-match interview, Manchester City playmaker, Rayan Cherki, dared to let slip that he had gone against his manager’s wishes.
Pep Guardiola is arguably football’s greatest ever tactical mastermind, but on this occasion, it appears that his plan was trumped by Cherki’s intuition.
What does this episode tell us about the relationship between Guardiola and Cherki?
Is it a case of trouble in paradise, or could it be a classic example of opposites attract?
Jamie and Gorka analyse Cherki’s role in this season’s Manchester City and assess how Guardiola can get the best out of the maverick forward.
We also hear Arne Slot’s theories about breaking down low-blocks and end up wondering: where has all the combination play gone?
