They were magnificent at slowing down matches when it suited their needs. Time-wasting was a feature of that, particularly away from home and against teams who play possession-based football, with the managers of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United all complaining about their approach.’ Pope took an average of 36 seconds to restart play last season and that was by far the slowest time in the Premier League.
Their full backs stayed close to the centre backs, meaning the only space available to City was out wide.
