The smile could not have been bigger when Pep Guardiola was asked why he chose his Manchester City starting XI at Chelsea.
"Everybody asked for this line up, I follow my fans!" he joked, alluding to the fact that supporters have been asking for Phil Foden to return for weeks, along with Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker.
Twitter erupted, feeling validated that Guardiola is more than aware of what they are saying, and even when the manager reverted to his tried and tested explanation of "there is no specific reason why" he picked his City side, it felt as though Guardiola may finally have decided to take into account the constructive criticism from the terraces.
