Fans reckon Pep Guardiola is ‘at it again’ as Jack Grealish is spotted in bizarre new position in Man City training
FANS joked Pep Guardiola is “at it again” after seeing a snap of Jack Grealish playing IN GOAL during Manchester City training.
The Prem champions take on Real Madrid in their Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday night.
Boss Guardiola is aiming to win his first Champions League since 2011 and his maiden European title since leaving Barcelona.
The 52-year-old has suffered a number of heartbreaking exits in the last 12 years, with fans often accusing him of “over-thinking” his selections.
Examples include his infamous man-for-man three at the back deployed while managing Bayern Munich against Barca.
While he also elected not to select a holding midfielder in the 2021 final against Chelsea.
During City training this week, red-hot wide man Grealish was spotted between the sticks – with fans joking that Guardiola was about to make his wackiest selection yet.
One jokingly asked: “What’s Pep cooking?”
While a second quipped: “Ederson & Rodri double pivot. I like it.”
And a third tweeted: “He definitely uses twitter.”

Another added: “We’re in trouble with this man.”
Ahead of Wednesday’s second leg, Guardiola pointed to his experience in the competition.
He said: “I have been here many times.
“My legacy is exceptional already. I have told the players to enjoy the moment – we are incredibly lucky to be here.
“It’s in our hands, it depends on us, we don’t have to do something exceptional – just win one game to reach the final.
“I have an incredible feeling about them. Whatever happens – thank you so much to them for bringing me and the City fans here again.”
