Pep Guardiola's tackle statement was bizarre as fans erupt when they see a crunching challenge... plus find out who makes my team of the weekend

Pep Guardiola is asking for trouble by saying he is not a coach for tackles. It was one of the most bizarre statements I have ever heard in football.

Fans applaud a nice pass but the stadium erupts when there is a crunching 50-50 challenge. Supporters pay to see players put their bodies on the line and that is exactly what Manchester City are missing right now.

I'm taking nothing away from Leicester but when they saw City's team they must have thought Christmas had come early!

It did not make any sense to play Bacary Sagna and Aleksandar Kolarov in a back three.
