Really, Dion?
Dion Dublin isn’t happy with Pep Guardiola.
The Manchester City manager, who is from “abroad”, has come over to England, banned pizza and, worst of all in Dublin’s eyes, dropped Joe Hart.
Reports emerged on Friday evening that the England number one has lost his place as City’s starting goalkeeper, and he could be on the move, with Guardiola lining up a deal for Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Willy Caballero replaced Hart in goal for the visit of Sunderland on Saturday evening, and BBC pundit Dublin wasn’t happy at all.
The former Aston Villa forward conceded that he “doesn’t know how the manager manages,” but he’s not pleased with the decision of the two-time Champions League winning coach.
“I just think Joe Hart deserves the right to start the season at least, because he is our (England’s) number one,” Dublin said.
“I think you’ve got to give him the benefit of the doubt… He’s the kind of ‘keeper that needs to play all the time.”

It appears as though Guardiola has looked at Hart’s underwhelming performances at Euro 2016, studied him in training and decided that he would rather go with a different option as his goalkeeper.
The fact that Hart is England’s number one, and doesn’t like being dropped, isn’t enough of a reason to start him, Dion.
