But then you&#8217;re sorting of questioning Pep&#8217;s decision-making there, aren&#8217;t you?, Sutton responded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He must be deficient with something in Pep&#8217;s mind. Whether it&#8217;s fitting into the style of play, whatever it is. But on the face of things, I do understand what you&#8217;re saying.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to King&#8217;s statement on homegrown players deserving more chances, Sutton added: &#8216;He&#8217;s got to be good enough. And while he&#8217;s a talented player, how can we sit here at this moment in time questioning Pep Guardiola? Champions League\u00a0winner last season, won the Premier League for the last three seasons, whatever it is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He doesn&#8217;t get a lot wrong. So maybe, should we wait a bit longer before we cast judgement?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>King conceded that Guardiola&#8217;s track record is firmly in his favour when it comes to making calls on individual players, but thinks it is a shame that Palmer moved on given how Guardiola constantly gets the very best out of his players.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Something that I would like to say about Guardiola is, the level that he can improve a player is extraordinary,&#8217; King said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I remember going to Bayern Munich once and was waiting to do an interview, me and Jamie Carragher were there, this is going back 10 years now. Pep had just gone to Bayern and he&#8217;d done a session with the first-team and things were being put away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And at the far end of Sabener Strasse there were four Under-18 lads just having a kickaround and whatever. Pep&#8217;s walking back to the main hub and he catches the four lads over his shoulder. And he looks, and then he looks again, and something&#8217;s clearly irked him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/23\/16\/76898133-12662579-image-a-32_1698075704639.jpg\" height=\"356\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Chris Sutton disagrees with King, and believes Guardiola&#8217;s judgement on players cannot be questioned<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/23\/16\/76898323-12662579-image-m-34_1698075778527.jpg\" height=\"495\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>King is surprised Guardiola didn&#8217;t stick with Palmer and try to improve him like he did with Phil Foden<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;These lads were just having a mess around, and he got them into position and went through this drill with them and wanted to get the very best out of them.
