It makes sense though if the idea of Aguero not doing enough outside of the box anymore isn't dismissed by the 'Everything about City is fantastic' brigade.
Is he being Rooney'd by Guardiola
Pep doesn't rate him too highly.
Not a very smart thing to do, even though he's quite useless when he doesnt score, he is still the most likely to score and your star player, if they lose, he'll get an unneccesary pressure from the fans and media.
Pep still has at least a year or 2 of fecking up badly before the media and fans turn on him.
Right now he's still the guy who invented football.
@ thread title!!!Fair enough, although the media turned on van Gaal quite quickly, but he didnt like them ofcourse.
Van Gaal didn't come with the same reputation as Guardiolas.
Right now it's still honeymoon phase with media and can do no wrong. But like Jose who used to be The media darling they'll turn on him if he fecks up over a period of time.
That thread title
Feck me I thought it was another Rooney thread for a second
Stupid decision. Barca will stuff em.
If Barca stuff them it means they would still have gotten stuffed even with Wayne.
Funny coz it's true
Surely the fans will turn on Pep pretty quickly if Aguero stays dropped (and they aren't playing well, of course)?
Or just maybe he's dropped because of tactical reasons and we know Barca will control the middle unless we have 6 players in there.
This is really strange.....
If Aguero is fit he plays in 99.999 teams in the world
Barca are possibly the only team who he might be on bench for

Not really.
Pep's statue right now with City fans is as God himself while Aguero is Jesus.
So Pep wins the battle of divinity.
Aguero is brilliant. Benching him is weird. A fall out between him and Guardiola would be great for every other PL team.
Maybe he's not impressed with his work rate. It's been a problem for City in Europe for years
Oh shiiit
Agüero is not a midfielder - he is just a 9...
After 3 years with Pep I am not surprised...

Not a crazy decision, Pep knows you have to stop Barca playing from the back especially at home and will need someone with high energy and press up there to make it tough for them, something Aguero would never do. Peps decision is also made easier by the fact he isn't exactly in form.
Find all this funny, its almost like any reason this forum can find to criticise Pep.
The reason is obviously tactical to get another body in midfield and press Barca before the ball reaches MSN. 6 man midfield. Personally I'd rather Kun played as I can't see us stopping Barca anyway.

Well he needs to get a result. It's just funny, let's see what they all say if City lose.
It isn't hard to find a reason to criticise the Spanish Duncan Castles now is it.
Didn't Pep play some bat shit crazy formation at the Nou Camp when he was Bayern manager, and they got stuffed?
you don't bench your best players in one of the biggest games of the season. Makes no sense.
His teams at Bayern were always underwhelming away in CL.
Aguero is a very good player, but his general play is lacking for me. He loses the ball very cheaply, at times. I can see why Pep has left him out.
Perhaps he's forgotten this match can't go to penalties?
Five goals in five PL starts. Wish our players would fail to find form like that.
I like how Guardiola isn't afraid to do what's right for the team, even if it means dropping or getting rid of good players. That's the right way to manage - doing what's best for the team, and not individuals. It's also what made Ferguson so successful.
Guardiola hinted in the first few weeks of the season that, he wanted more running from Aguero.
The guy gives no fecks. Love that about him.

Hopefully Pep fancies a swap.
I've always thought otherwise, what makes you say this?
Well...he wouldn't have dropped Messi for this game had he still been at Barca.
