There has been so much hindsight analysis on team selection suggesting Pep got it all wrong, Adrian Durham on Talksport calling it’arrogance’ Is just ridiculous! This is such a busy period and unfortunately Fernandinho can’t play every minute of every game over this period. KDB and Aguero are still not 100% fit so need to be managed, and the XI players put out yesterday should have had enough to get the three pts but it wasn’t to be.
There has been one or two indications in recent games that this kind of result may be on the cards and Palace are the kind of side where it wouldn’t surprise you if they were the ones to inflict it.
Every game over Christmas now takes on additional pressure, the Liverpool game at home is now massive.
If re regain the levels we’re capable of we should still finish top, but how we bounce back now is crucial.
Do you think Foden, a player who most definitely does not need resting, could have played in Gundogan's position yesterday, allowing Gundogan to drop into Fern's position, which he already has numerous times before?
