The Manager

For any readers that have watched the Manchester City documentary, they may be aware of footage showing just how nervous Pep Guardiola was before the Champions League tie.

Episode Six of Amazon Prime’s All Or Nothing provides a glimpse into the conversation Pep had with his assistants. The highlights being quotes such as: “They scare me. They’re dangerous, I mean it….Our wing-back can’t cover their wing-backs.”

Put aside a blow-out 5-0 when Liverpool went down to ten men early and downed tools, and the idea that Pep may be developing a bit of a complex about the Reds isn’t out of the question.

Not only that, but Pep seems incapable of beating Klopp – or at least not very often. This run stretches back to their days in the Bundesliga together, but more on that later.
