Sloppy Man City with lessons to learn in quest to win Champions League

The Blues have been working hard on new ideas to help them go far in the competition, but this was a reminder that the final is a long way off

If Pep Guardiola was "angry" with a routine 3-0 Premier League victory, he will be furious with Manchester City's shock 2-1 defeat to Lyon as they kicked off their Champions League campaign.

Guardiola said at the weekend, following the walkover against Fulham, that he would be going over his side's mistakes - bad passes, extra touches - with them in their team meeting on Sunday.

The Catalan is a control freak and has pulled together an army of staff - coaches, nutritionists, player support officers - to ensure his squad are in the best possible position to perform to their best.
