Given Manchester City’s persistent wonder with the ball at feet, a bell-and-whistles football team, it is easy to overlook at how damn good they are without the ball. It is a good time of year for Jesus celebrations, and Gabriel’s first league goals in four months took the headlines. Leroy Sane’s redemption also continued apace with two more assists.

Leaning over the rope, post pad-session sweat collecting around his temples, Tommy Fury stares straight down the lens. The impression he wants to convey is that of the archetypal fighting man, a boxer to the bone. Good luck with that. The problem is obvious and two-fold.
