Manchester City's Enzo Maresca Faces First Premier League Test Without Pep Guardiola's InfluenceThe Premier League's new season has kicked off with a sense of uncertainty, as teams struggle to cope with the departure of Pep Guardiola from Manchester City. The Catalan coach's influence was felt throughout the league, but his departure has left a void that is being felt by all teams. One of the most notable aspects of the new season is the shift in possession statistics. Gone are the days of Pep-ball, where teams would dominate possession and control the game. This weekend, the opposite happened, with teams having significantly more possession failing to win. Liverpool had 60% possession and 27 shots, but still managed only a draw, while Manchester United had 71% possession but were well beaten by Hull. Tottenham had 60% possession and lost 3-0, and Nottingham Forest had 56% possession but lost as well. Sunderland had 62% possession, Crystal Palace 58%, and both lost. The only exceptions to this trend were Manchester City, who had 66% possession and won against Bournemouth, but only after spending 84 minutes looking like they were losing, and Brighton, who had 73% possession and beat Aston Villa. The Premier League's new season is off to a surprising start, with possession statistics taking a backseat to other factors. The league's top teams will need to adapt quickly to the new reality, or risk falling behind.
