Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has singled out Raheem Sterling, Conor Gallagher, and Cole Palmer of Chelsea after his team’s Sunday 4–4 Premier League draw with the Blues.
At Stamford Bridge, Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling, Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, Erling Haaland (2), Rodri, and Manuel Akanji Rodri all scored goals to guarantee that both teams received a point apiece. Guardiola was watching.
Guardiola stated that Sterling, Palmer, and Gallagher could run the opposition to defend at his post-game press conference.

“I think no but when you pass the ball to Raheem, Cole, or Gallagher and they can run, you defend in the box,” Guardiola said.
“Would I prefer to have long balls? They were good, we adjusted something at halftime; the first half we had problems; this was the game.”
The result against Chelsea means Man City still maintain the top position on the Premier League table with 28 points from 12 games.
The Citizens are one point ahead of second position Liverpool and third place Arsenal.
