Not for the first time this season, Fabian Delph came to mind. As well as being a useful option for a time in Pep Guardiola's all-conquering side, the former England midfielder infamously called out his teammates for not doing the basics.
Pep Guardiola was so keen on using full-backs as part of his Manchester City vision that the Blues spent around £150m on Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy and Danilo in his first year at the club.
Sergio Gomez has had to wait patiently for his opportunities this season after joining from Anderlecht in a £14m deal last summer.
Pep Guardiola told critics of his unorthodox Manchester City tactics to be patient, as he launched a passionate defence of some of his recent decisions regarding key players.
In Manchester City's win over Aston Villa on Sunday, Pep Guardiola took defender Ruben Dias off at half-time as he was on a yellow card. Three days later, and makeshift defender Bernardo Silva was in the same situation, yet lasted the full 90 minutes in a crucial win at Arsenal.
Fabian Delph has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 32.
Former Manchester City and England midfielder Fabian Delph announced his retirement on Tuesday. Delph made 204 Premier League appearances for City, Everton, Aston Villa and Leeds. The 32-year-old won two Premier League titles during four years with City between 2015 and 2019. He also appeared in the FA Cup and League Cup finals with Villa, finishing as a runner-up on both occasions. Delph, who played 20 times for England, left City to join Everton three years ago but injuries restricted him to just 21 appearances in all competitions over the last two seasons.
Champions League-winning ex-Chelsea midfielder John Obi MIkel has announced his retirement from football. Mikel, who won eight major trophies with the Blues, made 372 total appearances during his 11 years in West London, but had been without a club since being released by Kuwait SC last November. Ad On the same day, another Premier League midfielder of a similar era — Fabian Delph — also called time on his own career.
