It's been really odd. He either doesn't like him (more than in a footballing sense) or he is trying to really school him into an exact tactical sense and its some form of approach to mould him.I've been extremely critical of how Pep has used Gonzalez. I think he's a great player and he'll rise to the occasion and fill in superbly.

He tends to settle down on his back four when it comes to the crunch. I’m not sure we will see much of either of them.Assuming Gvardiol and Dias are match fit before the end of the season, will be interesting to see if Pep starts either of them as Guehi and Khusa have been so good since January.
The nature of Rodri's injuries this season have been so strange, I will say.
He went off against Arsenal holding his groin, then we get word that it's a calf issue, then we get told by Pep that he'll probably be back for Everton, then it seems he won't play until the FA Cup final, lol.

Rodri’s injury cost us 2 points against Everton and probably the league.

Gvardiol ahead of Rodri is a surprise.

If Donnarumma; Nunes Khusanov Guehi O'Reilly; Gonzalez Bernardo Semenyo Cherki Doku; Haaland isn't enough to beat Brentford at home it won't be Rodri's absence that caused it.No Rodri that’s us fucked Saturday

You're not far off from my assessment that City haven't really been a top team since the treble season.
In 2023-24 we did win the league but anyone could see Rodri and Phil's form covered over a lot of cracks which became evident when their form dropped.
And honestly we have no business being in a title race this year.. Rodri coming back covered over the cracks again but when he's not there.. the cracks become chasms.
To have a sustained title winning side, we need to get the incomings and outgoings correct.

It should but Brentford are a good side. It won’t be an easy game.

My problem Dave is the national teams playing the boys as if they're fit all season ffsHe tends to settle down on his back four when it comes to the crunch. I’m not sure we will see much of either of them.
