During Manchester City's 4-0 defeat of Southampton on Saturday, Pep Guardiola showcased his full range of touchline antics.
There were goal celebrations, exasperated flailing of the arms after misplaced passes, frantic instructions and all manner of gesticulations. He sat in the dugout, he stood on the touchline, he perched on a drinks cooler when Ederson misplaced a pass for perhaps the first time this season.
All that fed into the stereotype of the City boss being a control freak, a football obsessive caught up in a relentless pursuit of perfection who can never be satisfied, so much so that he forgets to enjoy the art that his genius has created. Perhaps the harshest and most unfair characterisation of Guardiola is that he has no human side, that he is all tactics and no emotion.
