Guardiola praised the two players in an interview with TNT Sports after the game, which may come as a surprise given how disorganized and open City was all night.
“The first half was really, really good,” he said about the game’s outcome. From my point of view, we made a lot of plays and got a goal.But sometimes we miss easy things every day. They are free to run, and they gave us a little trouble. It is possible.
“We need to stay away from it after the third and fourth.”
“That young man [Simpson-Pusey] played great.” Rico as well. You can not always use the same starting lineup or back four when you play a lot of games.
It is been a rough season for us, but that is just the way it is.
