The league leaders drew 1-1 with, with Raheem Sterling missing an open goal, but the main talking point was Guardiola choosing to name one sub less than is allowed in order to make a point about his ‘ravished’ squad…

The Spaniard is without a number of first-teamers who are injured following bad tackles, but Gerrard thinks it’s inexcusable not to have selected a youngster – especially given City’s tremendous youth setup.

Well said, Stevie.

Gerrard’s probably showing particular passion about the subject because he currently manages Liverpool’s U18s.

If Klopp ever has a limited number of options, he’ll know better than to overlook a youngster for a spot on the bench!
