Guardiola faced fans' anger for not playing Abduqodir Husanov!
Why is the irreplaceable Husanov not being played?
One of the central matches of the English Premier League – the Manchester derby – had another name in the spotlight of the football community – Abduqodir Husanov. However, the 21-year-old central defender was left on the bench for the second consecutive match of "Manchester City".
The Uzbek legionnaire, who was not included in the match report against "Leicester" in the previous round, also did not make it to the starting lineup in the game against "Manchester United".
Guardiola's choice angered the fans
This decision by Josep Guardiola, known for his unique style and always unexpected choices, sparked widespread discussions among football fans. In particular, fans of "Manchester City" from various countries have expressed their dissatisfaction on social media about Abduqodir Husanov not being played.
Jacob Muriungi:
“Husanov should have started the game in the starting lineup. He is reliable and a very good defender!”
Base Camara:
“What did Husanov do to Pep? Substituting Nunesh while Abduqodir is available is a crime!”
Tafadzwa Chigogo:
“We need Husanov, who can choose the right position in the back line.”
Kennedy Jeremiah Mwansa:
“Doku, Niko, Reyes, Savino, Husanov, and MakEti should be in the starting lineup. Bernardo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Foden, and Nunesh can come in later. With this lineup, we couldn't even beat a team in 13th place!”
Itz Successful:
“Abduqodir's form is high; he should have been played. We lost in the game where Nunesh played.”
Sphetho Myeni:
“Does Guardiola not want the Champions League? We are losing points with this lineup.”
Rosalanavho Mutenda:
“Not playing Husanov in such important games is a mistake! The fourth place is also at stake.”
Martin:
“Victory is essential. Keeping Savino and Husanov on the bench is a strange decision.”
Amën De Ketelaere:
“Husanov is a starting lineup player. That's for sure.”
Tsitsi Chikungwa:
“Is he not being played for a yellow card? I don't understand.”
Kanema Shamboko:
“Husanov, Niko, Doku, Grealish – they must be in the starting lineup! Pep himself should be benched.”
G-WIZZY:
Why is Husanov not seen in the starting lineup?
Marwan Sameh:
“Kudos to Pep, Doku and Husanov are sitting on the bench...”
Rex Chalumbwa:
“Again Nunesh? Husanov is in such ideal form!”
Michael Oyewumi:
“Guardiola never changes. Nunesh is in the starting lineup, Husanov is on the bench – it's incomprehensible!”
Wisdom Simonz:
“We need Husanov and Niko, from the start! This is football, not an experiment!”
Atul Gupta:
“Husanov, Doku, Savino – all on the bench. This team doesn't seem to want to attack.”
Austine Munkanta:
“Pep is a big joker! Savino, Doku, and Husanov have been left out of the lineup...”
Richard Woodward:
“This quartet – Doku, Savino, Niko, and Husanov should always be in the starting lineup!”
Abduqodir Husanov, named the best player of February, remaining on the bench is not just one game but is affecting the overall balance of "Manchester City's" game. Although Guardiola has not changed his decision so far, the pressure from the fans is increasing. Is it not time to listen to them?
