Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has slammed Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, blaming him for creating a “massive problem” during their 2-2 UEFA Champions League draw with Monaco mid-week.
The match saw goals from Erling Haaland, Jordan Teze, and Eric Dier as both sides shared the spoils.
Despite dominating possession and creating more chances, City failed to secure the win against the Ligue 1 side.
Speaking on BBC Sport’s Football Daily, Sutton said: “Why is he [Guardiola] playing him [Silva] out wide? For the life of me, I don’t know why Pep took Jeremy Doku off and kept Bernardo Silva on.
“I am not saying he is a liability out there, but he doesn’t have the ability to go past a full-back. That is a massive problem.”
Man City will face Brentford in the Premier League in their next game on Sunday.
