Pep Guardiola launched into a rant over fixture congestion after Manchester City's win over Chelsea on Saturday, but his decision during the game may not have helped his tiring team
Amid Pep Guardiola 's valid complaints over the scheduling of Manchester City's FA Cup clash against Chelsea, one important detail appears to have been missed.
But for a Bernardo Silva goal, the holders would have faced another 120 minutes of football, just a few days after playing extra-time and penalties in Europe. The decision to schedule City's game for Saturday was all the more baffling, considering that both Manchester United and Coventry City did not play in mid-week ahead of their semi-final on Sunday afternoon.
BBC pundit Alan Shearer then retorted to Guardiola that he could have chosen to play a different team to the one that faced Real. And whilst playing a slightly weaker side in an FA Cup semi-final would have come with its risks, Shearer's argument does hold some truth. City's manager could have still made two more changes and, while he may have considered saving them for the potential of extra time, he should perhaps have introduced fresh legs sooner given the testing schedule.
