Manchester City were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle United on Wednesday night.
Pep Guardiola wanted a performance intrinsic to Manchester City's DNA, one he could 'recognise.' He should have been careful what he wished for.
That's not what he got last season when his side crashed out of the cup to Nathan Jones' Southampton. A rare atrocious performance that ultimately cost them the chance of winning an unprecedented quadruple and one Guardiola admitted was the worst during his time at the club. The manager got the exact opposite, a performance almost too typical of City. For better and worse. In the first half, they were excellent. All the players Guardiola called upon so his top stars could rest showed they could step up in more important names when needed.
Bobb created City's best two chances in the first half with incisive passes into Julian Alvarez but they weren't taken. In stereotypical fashion. It was one of those days. The goal in such a scenario did not come as a surprise. City were weak in the challenge and Lewis allowed a cross to roll under him to Isak who stuck it in the back of the net.
