In some previous seasons, Pep Guardiola knew how to show “respect” to lower-ranking opponents in the form of a strong Manchester City team and straight-forward approach. Everyone remembers the triumph over Burton a few years ago (9-0), which provoked various comments…Tonight, the meticulous Catalan decided to shuffle the cards against Peterborough, leaving De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Sterling on the bench, but it is unlikely that Guardiola will do something similar in the foreseeable future.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Pep had to watch his City play in disbelief, nervously gesturing and waving his arms. Because the expensive team couldn’t find a solution for the defensive block of the EFL Championship’s bottom-dwellers. The team that has conceded six goals in the last three matches in the second tier of English football, did not allow City to send a single shot on goal within 60 minutes of football.City were slipping towards great humiliation, but… They are too strong a team to postpone their qualifying to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup for another night. True, we are sure that Guardiola will remember all the mistakes of Grealish, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden in the introductory part of the match. We didn’t see anything significant from City who were drowned on bad terrain in Peterborough.Klopp gives credit to ’Neuro11’ company for Carabao Cup trophyUntil the 60th minute, it seemed that City would have a hard time finding winning coordinates. However, the class of Riyad Mahrez came to the fore. The Algeria international was left alone on the left side, got the excess free space, and used the most out of it. He dribbled past the defender marking him and kicked the ball through the legs, leaving the goalkeeper Benda unable to intervene.It was the end of all of Peterborough’s hopes that they could reach a potential sensation, despite the 25 percent possession. Manchester started playing and used every millimeter of free space. It resulted in Foden sending an ideal pass to Grealish in the 67th minute. Former Aston Villa captain sent the ball into the net and put an end to any uncertainty.Riyad Mahrez scores his 19th goal of the season for Man City 💥 pic.twitter.com/C5YTdb8H21— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) March 1, 2022 I don’t what should gas me more, the fantastic pass and playmaking by FODEN or the composure Grealish exhibited in scoring the goal pic.twitter.com/MZuKxr9dpj— CitYWB (@NzeYWB) March 1, 2022 FA CUP Fifth RoundTuesdayPeterborough – Man.City 0-2 (0-0)/Mahrez 60, Grealish 60/Crystal Palace – Stoke 2-1 (0-0)/Kouyate 53, Riedewald 82 – Tymon 58/Middlesbrough. – Tottenham 0-0 (0-0) IN PROGRESSWednesday22.15: (9.00) Luton (4.90) Chelsea (1.40)22.30: (2.50) Southampton (3.35) West Ham (3.05)23.15: (1.20) Liverpool (8.00) Norwich (14.0)Thursday23.15: (1.15) Everton (9.00) Boreham Wood (22.0)Monday22.30: (2.10) Nott.Forest (3.50) Huddersfield (3.80)***odds are subject to change
