This was always going to be very difficult for us. They are just so much better. I’m not buying any cheating, they are a well coached and much more adaptable than us. We are getting there but when we have to change from our starting XI we are much less effective.
I mean... they are also cheating. Rodri constantly going down, trying to buy every foul they can (which is all of them, because they got the money for it).
I mean, they are cheating by virtue of the players they're able to put on the pitch in the first place and the money that's gone into the club. They literally made Guardiola's brother chairman of Girona, do you think there's no cheating there?
That's true. We're like every other team in the league bar Chelsea, we don't have the means to have such quality in depth
