Pep Guardiola: What does Txiki Begiristain exit mean for Man City manager's future?

What does the exit of Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain mean for manager Pep Guardiola's future.

This could be a big loss for the club

Even more so with Pep out of contract in the summer

Is he waiting to find out what’s happening with the charges ?

@Don Barzini

Dare I point out the first touch was the defender’s boot and not Cole Palmer’s?!

Sad news https://www.skysports.com/football/...former-sheffield-united-defender-dies-aged-31

Very rare to get someone that giving and not all about "me" in the modern football world https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cjr39j98yv5o

J. Pickford
R. Lewis
L. Colwill
J. Stones (c), Captain
T. Alexander-Arnold
J. Bellingham
D. Rice
A. Gordon
B. Saka
P. Foden
C. Palmer


Any guesses on the formation

Two strikers in the squad and both on the bench

3 number 10’s ?

Looks like he has just thrown them all in

Chuffed for John Stones - he and his family must be super proud.

Intriguing line-up. Let's see. It's added interest to an otherwise nothing game.

Don’t Liverpool play without a striker?
Plenty of goals in that line up.
If it doesn’t work out make changes.
Now’s the time to experiment.
Moan about not try things & moan when they do

 

[PJ87]

What's foden done this season to be in that line up?

Bring in Solanke or Watkins

ahh well....the next couple of hours will make a refreshing change from moaning about 115 charges/associated party transactions/oil money sponsorship/ETH/the protected 6.

C'mon lads....knives out for Carsley.

Tonight’s game is perfect game to take to other stadiums around the country - and the empty seats highlight that as well

 

[PaulMdj]

Come on England.

We all know what Foden can do tho.
He’s trying something new.

Agreed,but it’s not going to happen.

 

[clubchamp98]

Agreed,but it’s not going to happen.

Yes need to pay for the stadium.

Nice to see a different approach but we look open to a counter
Not sure Watkins would agree though,
Kane injured and he’s overlooked.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Blimey that’s a heck of a clearance

What was Pickford doing


And again

 

[Tashyboy]

There are aspects of this game that are excellent re the press and that. But there are still old issues. Pickford being one.

 

[Tashyboy]

Anyone else notice where most of the damage is being done from the Greek side.

Yep

 

[PaulMdj]

Interesting 45 minutes.

 

[Beezerk]

Well that was tripe, wish they would drop Rice and try someone else in there, he's awful...imo.
