I think this is Pep’s fault in the sense that Kompany should have been replaced to provide the team cover when someone got hurt. Then someone did get hurt.
I’m not talking about their place in the table as that’s impossible to reverse. The results have been pretty bad as a result of this decision even though they would not have kept up either way. To be on pace for 78 points is rather horrifying to City’s board I’m sure.
Im not saying he’s going to get sacked or anything but the cup results better be good.
It doubly impressive given the amount of money Pep has spent on CBs and FBs since he got to City.
One injury and they're trotting out DMs in a CB role.
It's not like Liverpool thinking about putting Fabinho at CB for a random game because they've got fixture congestion and think he's better than your 5th string CB. This is putting Fernandinho there repeatedly because you think he's better than your 3rd string CB who you just spend like 60 million on a couple years ago.
We all know what's gonna happen though. Pep will spend 50M in the winter on CBs and then another 150 in the summer along with 150 on more attackers.
