“nobody’s really had the balls to really play them” is a very reductive statement. Klopp’s Liverpool is just one example that disproves this.
Circumstance is more relevant than anything. City missing key players, City having an elite outlet as ST but someone who’s completely disconnected from buildup, Pep trying different tactics that didn’t come off (some tacticos think its his worst game for City). On top of that Poch absolutely nailed it, like he did v Arsenal, but this time didn’t fuck things up with subs.
My point is more in line with your second paragraph. This season specifically. Their squad is not the same, also injuries. They are more vulnerable than they’ve ever been. So I’m hoping that other managers will go for it while they’re nursing important injuries their left side is still not clicking just yet.
