I thought it was stupid.
You were surprised?
Yeah, I think it was surprised because we've seen Pep Guardiola be a lot more reactive to the opposition this season.
And we've seen him, I think, make changes.
You can talk about personnel.
And obviously, maybe it would have been different if Doku had never been injured and he'd been fully fit the whole season and whatever.
They would have developed in a different direction.

I think also putting Kusunov, who is... You said it was a bad call.
He obviously put in there because Kusunov is maybe City's fastest defender.
Maybe even City's fastest player.
I don't know.
And obviously, you're looking at the Vini threat.

is effectively going to be the one guy who's up there all the time because, you know, Brahim Diaz and Valverde and others are going to track back.
Why not make the adjustment with Kuzanov?
