Video: Nightmare start for Maresca! Man City all over the place as Bournemouth silence the Etihad

Manchester City’s start to life under new manager Enzo Maresca has not gone to plan so far, with Bournemouth scoring first in today’s Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.

Marcus Tavernier finished well from close range, but Man City’s defence was absolutely all over the place as Rico Lewis took up a strange position where it’s unclear what he was trying to achieve.

Watch below as City make a worrying start to the post-Pep Guardiola era, with the team’s shape worryingly open and disorganised as Bournemouth just cut right through them with ease…

It’s worth noting, of course, that Bournemouth are also under a new manager today, with Marco Rose having come in to replace Andoni Iraola this summer.

So far, in the battle between Maresca and Rose, it’s the latter who has the surprise upper-hand.

Bournemouth hurting Manchester City again following title blow

City must be fed up of playing Bournemouth, who drew with them back in May to confirm they could no longer win the Premier League title.

The Cherries hosted City at the Vitality Stadium in the penultimate game of last season, drawing 1-1 to confirm that Arsenal could no longer be caught at the top of the table.
