The truth, as Pep Guardiola has insisted for a long time, is that City have a small core of 21 players including third choice goalkeeper Scott Carson and academy graduate Oscar Bobb in his first year of senior football. Others, like Rico Lewis, Sergio Gomez and previously Kalvin Phillips were hardly regulars. If City had those 21 players fit and available all season, to be four games…
