But it isn't rarely is it as he made subs in 57 of 59 games there nothing rare about that.

There were plenty of opportunites where did stick with the same starting line up even when losing. It is still sematics.

Again that's not what you said.

With all the competitions we are in, Gundo will get his fair share of games. I think Rodri may get rested more this season and add into the mix injuries and suspensions, he will get plenty of game time.

Correctissimo.

A calm experienced head in a team of youngsters for certain cup games.

He'll know his own limitations regarding the number of games he can play in a 70 game season.

What an example, and on field coach,for Rico, Nico, Ossy and the academy lads.

An academy coach or CFG coach of the future ??

real madrid are still using Modric, and people are worried about whether Gundogan can still play well for us ? Modric is 39 in 3 weeks, and still looks class.

That is the rare occasion he really changes things. There have been countless times where you think Pep should make changes but he does leave his starting line up to change things around. Especiall in the Premier League.He doesn't even rotate Rodri.

KDB and Bobb coming on against Newcastle away when we were 2-1 down and they both scored and won 3-2.

Bringing on Phil Foden away at Sheff Utd when it was 1-1 with 5 mins to play, Foden set up Rodri for his goal and we won 2-1.

Or

Being 1-0 down to both West Ham and Luton away at HT, Not making any changes until we go ahead in both games.

Pep knows when we need changes and when to keep things as they are.

To be fair to that @Falcao fella he's wound a few up with one post.

To be fair to him, he's probably pretty annoyed that it looks like one of the best number 8s in the world looks likely to be returning to City for free.

Blimey, is this true? A wonderful player who makes the game look so easy.

 

[ancoats]

Sentimental reasons aside it doesn't really make sense with the current personnel we have. If we were that short then for the short term it would be ideal but we will still have to look for a Gundo replacement along with KDB as well.

City still has a small squad and Rodri can not be the gamble we win every season

Pep hoping for a last hurrah with this

Because...?

There's literally no way anything 97% can be described as rare.

I’d be fuming if I worked 57 days out of 59 and my performance review said ‘rarely shows up for work’!!
