On Wednesday night Pep Guardiola masterminded Manchester City’s cup knockout of Brentford. On Thursday Keith Andrews’ team will train at their facilities and the two managers will enjoy coffee. This is before the Bees’ trip to Wolves on Saturday yet zero niceties were present in City’s professional passage into the semi-finals, where they will play Newcastle, with the first leg at St James’ Park.
Guardiola cites how his team must grow during the season and with each outing greater control and composure is suggested. A sparkling Rayan Cherki scored first, then Savinho followed, only a second goal by the inconsistent 21-year-old this season.
