Pep Guardiola Names Teams Who Don't Just 'Sit Back' Against Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has named the five Premier League teams who don't just 'sit back' and defend against Manchester City, and there's a couple of more surprising named.

With so much attacking talent in Guardiola's side, it's almost impossible for teams to shut down all of their goal scoring avenues, which is why opposition don't usually manage it.

"The rest sit back, but I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that.

"Every manager can do what they want."

The fact those five teams have conceded 22 goals in six games so far this season against City might suggest why other teams decide to defend.

Frank Lampard's Everton were mainly on the back foot on Saturday evening but the Premier League champions were still extremely lucky to come away with all three points.

Firstly, despite their dominance, it took until the 82nd minute for Phil Foden to score what would turn out to be the only goal of the game, his seventh in the league this season.

Spurs were brilliant on the day, with Harry Kane scoring deep in injury time to grab all three points, and Conte wasn't having any of the idea his team just sat back.
