Man City vs Burnley

Nowadays, Burnley don’t sling the ball into the box nearly as often as Manchester City do, would you believe. Guardiola doubling down on a focus upon control has arguably made City a more cautious side and they have only made five errors leading to shots this season. Guardiola famously asked “what is tackles?” during his mixed first season in England. Winning the ball back quickly is imperative in this style, but control of position and possession means such interventions do not come in great volume. Burnley and Barcelona score similarly highly in those areas and their respective 64.3% and 64.1% possession readings, each league highs, are almost identical to City’s 64.6%. City are second on both of those marks, while leading the way on goals scored and average possession per game — metrics on which Arsenal are up next. This is another signature Guardiola ploy and has sometimes led to players like Jack Grealish receiving criticism for a perceived lack of involvement, while doing a team job. Sergi Roberto is an old hand with such tasks at Barcelona as a natural midfielder who converted to right-back early in his career. Kompany has used a rotating cast of full-backs ducking inside, with Connor Roberts most frequently tackling a responsibility that has also been handed to Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen and Vitinho, who joined on a temporary deal from Cercle Brugge. Guardiola and ex-Barca and Spain boss Luis Enrique are at the forefront of several former Barcelona players inspired by Johan Cruyff’s footballing vision. Victory over Real Madrid in the final LaLiga El Clasico of the season would effectively end the title argument. If Guardiola did not feel Kompany was cut from the same cloth, able to develop what he has built in Manchester, then it is unlikely he would be touting him in such terms.
