When a team wins 7-0, the manager’s usually done something right. When City play at home, they’re arguably the best team in the league, as shown by their demolition of Norwich City at the Etihad. If they could sort out their performances on the road, the Chilean could end up a Premier League title winner in his first season in charge. Seven different players scored, and his decision to drop Joe Hart was justified by Costel Pantilimon’s accomplished (if relatively untroubled) performance.
