So why did Arsenal play today? Just because Pep Gu said so, it does not mean the world will turn its back side to facilitate His team. These are stupid arguments and did he say anything about this before the match in his pre match conference? Or anybody else? He wants to get the pressure off from his sides lack luster performance and slam it on the FA cup organizer and play a victim card.. moreover he shud be losing because the ref did not give pen. That was a straight straight pen but of course Michael Oliver is in rescue... Anybody who says MCity shud not be played today, so is Arsenal but why is nobody talking about that!!!!

Because city bankrolls the lot including these clowns of pundits

Real Madrid have 10 days of rest before the 1st leg quarterfinal vs Manchester City. There is no La Liga weekend on April 6/7 due to the Copa del Rey Final. Same for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Paris Saint Germain also didn't have Ligue 1 weekend game before the 2nd leg quarterfinal vs Barcelona. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund sometimes played their Bundesliga games on Friday, and with Bayer Leverkusen winning the league, both will most likely play their weakened side in Bundesliga games before the Champions League semifinal.

Most teams struggling to find 5 world class subs while city 1 player short of having 2 starting 11s. Also shouldn't their tactics tire out the other team?

Next season will be brutal for big teams with lack of depth in bench lord save these players

As a united fan i agree with Pep. This has been happening for far too long. Spanish teams get better scheduling. The united game could have been saturday and city v chelsea moved to Sunday

I thought these teams had DEPTH in the squad to coup with the schedule. Pity.

Ten Hag had this last season and Klopp has had it before. When they complained about it like Pep is now the media bashed them for it.

Instead of agreeing or disagreeing with Pep, why don’t you ask yourself if it’s wise to do that the FA has been doing AND then compare it to how other country’s FA are moving & rescheduling games around to help facilitate rest for their respective teams. Which makes more objective sporting sense: what the English FA has been doing or what other FAs around Europe are?

Wow, if Kloop had said the same thing as Pep... ESPN please

He didn't have any issues last season with the fixtures when winning the treble. He could give his reserve team a chance against a poor Chelsea team.

Or the one that came 3rd in 16/17, 15 points behind the champions? The backline had Zaba, Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov, Otamendi, Mangala and Hart, the fullbacks were 30 and far past their expiry date for the style Pep requires. This lie is sold quite a bit by his haters.

You want these teams to perform well in Europe and their domestic league, then you have to consider their schedule...it's that simple

Packed schedule because it's competitive... English football has to compete with other European leagues other sports other forms of entertainment They need to offer both quality and quantity to compete

If it wasn't the FA Cup it would have been the League, then again he's one of the coaches who voted for the away goal to be removed from the Champions League, if it hadn't been removed his team would have gone through without the extra time on away goals

Someone needs to call out these fraud pundits for giving Klopp a tough time when he complained about schedules and Pep gets a thumbs up for saying g the same thing.

Yes and No. Yes, Pep was right about scheduling issue. No, Pep was wrong that FA is the one that should initiate the change. In La Liga, Real Madrid submitted request to move their match vs Real Sociedad, after their match vs Bayern was confirmed. So Pep was bullshitting that he got no time to submit change request. Man City is a big club, must have the admin personnel for these things.

Because the underlying cause from EPL wanting by all means City to lose its dominance in all English competitions. These are unwritten rules that they can influence.

La Liga, Bundesliga and even Ligue 1 give opportunities to their teams to win the CL by giving them sufficient time to rest and recover. The PL never helps the PL teams. That is one of the main reasons why PL teams find it ha4d to win the CL.

Luckily City played a bad Chelsea team today. Chelsea should have scored 2 or 3 today.

Ofc he is, Premier League is on a incredible high pace recently (specially compared to Italy, Spain, Germany or France), and they put games on games on games, it gets dangerous for the players. How does Chelsea not play but Arsenal and City played all this time, and they have CL night... Makes no sense.
