City eye response amid Echeverri loan frustrations

Pep Guardiola admitted slight irritation over Claudio Echeverri’s limited action at Bayer Leverkusen, hinting that the youngster’s “beautiful agent” controls the story. Josko Gvardiol feels the dressing room calmer now, while Pep—fresh from apologising for his headset grab—plans rotations to reignite City’s spark.

If City show more movement tonight than Echeverri’s minutes in Germany, we’ll all be dancing the Etihad shuffle.
