I suspect that's Guardiola making the point "see I needed to buy players because I have injuries and a small squad".City only have 6 subs for their game at Burnley today. Doubt it will make any difference really.
'Look at us we have a short squad, gib monies'.City only have 6 subs for their game at Burnley today. Doubt it will make any difference really.
amazing. Any other club would have just drafted someone from the U23s. Poor Pep, give him some more money.City only have 6 subs for their game at Burnley today. Doubt it will make any difference really.
Tbf there seems to be 3 youngsters on the benchI suspect that's Guardiola making the point "see I needed to buy players because I have injuries and a small squad".
The point he is making in reality though is "feck every single one of my youth players, I'm a cheque book manager and don't give a shit about them".
"Feck all but three of our youth players"Tbf there seems to be 3 youngsters on the bench
The U23 had a game yesterday, they don't train with the first team and I guess even of one would have travelled, he'd be there just to make up the numbers. So I don't have an issue with that especially, but Lukas Nmecha is supposedly training with the first team already because of injuries, so it's weird not to include him. As I'm typing it, Pep just said "he's not fully fit", which is...a bit OTT."Feck all but three of our youth players"
He's literally saying that every other youth player is not even good enough to sit on a bench.
'Cheque or money?'Chequebook Pep is making a point.
I switch on about one minute before kick off precisely to miss all the guff.Every time Phil Neville is on the pre show, I switch the channel so the ratings drop so someone can fire him. Him and Sherwood are stealing a living.
So put another U21 on the bench?7 injured players and 3 under 21s on the bench. Still some room for bench jokes!
I think it has it's uses. When I listen to G. Nev, Carra, Roy Keane, Rio or Harry Redknapp, I feel like I actually learn something about my team. Sherwood, Phil Neville, Hargreaves and Owen make me feel like I'm getting more stupid the more I listen to them.I switch on about one minute before kick off precisely to miss all the guff.
What's the actual benefit of not putting another youngster on the bench other than making some point?7 injured players and 3 under 21s on the bench. Still some room for bench jokes!
The U23s player last night. I think we were hoping that one of Stones or Silva would be fit.So put another U21 on the bench?
Naming only six subs is just a cheap way to make a point.
Well Silva was a doubt, the reserves had a game yesterday, and the extra U21 player training with the 1st team was declared not fit. I think you are reading too much into it.So put another U21 on the bench?

No, Pep is trying to be clever after his recent moan about how his players get a kicking ever game. He could have easily named one of this great youth prospects every city fan tells us they have on the bench.Is the City squad really that depleted? Just 2 senior outfield players on the bench.? Cant make 18. What happened?
Diaz and Adarabioyo are academy players I believe.. Zinchenko didn’t come from the academyTbf there seems to be 3 youngsters on the bench
If he knew he had injuries, you pull a couple of the kids out of any U-23 game and have them on the bench. It is the sensible thing to do. Although you doubt having six subs is going to be a problem for them really.Absolute joke that Pep couldn’t have gave a youth team player the opportunity to travel with the squad today. Even if he wasn’t gonna get on
Especially risky with Kompany starting.Is the City squad really that depleted? Just 2 senior outfield players on the bench.? Cant make 18. What happened?
Can understand them not playing Laporte in this. He is a big lad, but Burnley like nothing better than giving someone a good kicking.Especially risky with Kompany starting.
Not going to be a problem but it was a great chance to give a kid an opportunity to be involved in the squad.If he knew he had injuries, you pull a couple of the kids out of any U-23 game and have them on the bench.

What point? That the board haven't backed him?Not going to be a problem but it was a great chance to give a kid an opportunity to be involved in the squad.
It’s just pep trying to make a point, the prick
