Guardiola’s comedic juggling act with goalkeepers…
Pep Guardiola is hitting the pause button on picking Manchester City’s main goalkeeper, leaving folks scratching their heads more than a dog trying to understand algebra. With Ederson’s future in question and James Trafford’s slip-up against Tottenham last week, Guardiola isn’t rushing into any decisions. He’ll decide who’s minding the nets for Saturday’s clash at the Amex Stadium just before showtime. Meanwhile, Ederson, who was unexpectedly benched against Tottenham, is still chased by Galatasaray like a cat who just saw a can-opener. Guardiola plans to settle the goalkeeping conundrum after the international break, once City tackles Manchester United and Arsenal, and the Champions League kicks off. Last week, it seemed Ederson’s position was as secure as a cat in a sunbeam, but oh how the mighty have to rethink!
James Trafford was partly guilty for Tottenham’s second goal and barely dodged a handball penalty mistake, leaving him more flustered than a squirrel on double espresso during his home debut. Guardiola reassures everyone that Trafford is brimming with personality like a smoothie with too many bananas, and has got all the support from the team. Meanwhile, the transfer gossip continues swirling around like a tornado in a teacup. There’s a possible last-minute exit for Ederson, along with Stefan Ortega, Manuel Akanji, and Ilkay Gundogan being swept up in the rumors. Guardiola, showing his inner Zen master, insists on taking things day by day, confident everything will be as smooth as butter on a hot bun, no matter what the future holds!
