S2 Ep61: Pizzas, Penalties, and Puskas

Manchester City have clinched the 2020-21 Premier League title and this episode discusses all the factors and moments that have led to this success. Kevin Nelson, Joe Ricci, and Andrew Dettmer evaluate how this title stacks up against the other two Pep Guardiola has one so far and the previous two under Roberto Mancini and Manual Pellegrini. There is an interesting discussion on how Guardiola has changed the league since coming to Manchester and how he's adjusted to the Premier League's response to his influence. We explore a couple of theories on City's substitution habits and whether Pep is using garbage time to perfect his team instead of going through the motions like teams in the past may have done. Finally, there is a review of the victory vs. Newcastle with specific focus on Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake.

We mentioned at the end of the show the Zonal Marking podcast's coverage of City's title winning season on their latest show, so we've posted the link below for any interested in checking that out.
