Fans love narratives. Just ask Rafa Benitez, who has been haunted by the "facts!" incident to this day. The idea of managers figuratively naked in front of the cameras coming across as bizarre or unhinged is a popular one and it provides a neat explainer for future results going all the way back to Kevin Keegan.
Those incidents came to mind watching Pep Guardiola's post-game reaction after Manchester City's stunning 4-2 capitulation at Leicester. He was asked whether the defensive issues -- especially the way Jamie Vardy & Co. ripped his back three apart on the counter -- was down to tactics and he said no.
