Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is rarely criticized by pundits due to his successful track record of always being one step ahead of the competition. Despite his decisions not being everyone’s cup of tea, Guardiola consistently ends his seasons with major silverware, making it difficult for anyone to question his tactics. However, after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Newcastle United, questions have arisen, with some pundits criticizing Guardiola for not starting midfielder Phil Foden in the match.
Steve Nicol accused Guardiola of being “overly clever” for not starting Foden against Newcastle, questioning the decision to leave out the talented young midfielder.
