5 Ways how Guardiola can break the decade long hoodoo

#2 Full Backs

Benjamin Mendy and Kyle Walker

Premier League has always been about top quality full backs. The title winning side of Manchester United had quality full backs who used to maraud forward at ease and track back similarly for defend.

Benjamin Mendy and Kyle Walker are crucial for Manchester City this season. They are young, quick and can cross the ball at will. Walker had an excellent campaign, last season under Guardiola.

Mendy is more like a new addition to the squad after missing out almost the entire season due to injury. If these two stay fit, there will be no stopping City this season.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
