Eight changes. Pep's not hiding it.
Pep Guardiola named eight changes for City's trip to Goodison Park and announced them beforehand, which is either refreshingly honest or a polite way of telling Everton they're a training session.
Erling Haaland stays home. The Champions League is next. The title race is next. The entire shape of City's season gets settled in the next ten days — and Guardiola is picking his squads like a man who knows exactly what order things come in.
Eight changes confirmed before kick-off. No spin, no rotation rhetoric, no "every game is important to us." Just a manager telling you what he's doing and why. Pep Guardiola has earned the right to be that direct, and he's using it.
