Man City boss Guardiola admits getting XI wrong for Crystal Palace defeat

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has conceded his team selection was wrong for defeat to Crystal Palace.

Guardiola admits not starting with Kevin de Bruyne was wrong.

"Of course Kevin could have started but I decided to play the other ones. When you win, you're a selection genius. When you lose, not so good," said Guardiola.

"I am a manager but I don't know what would happen if Kevin had started or Sergio (Aguero) started.

"When you play a lot of games, everyone has to play.. We created enough chances in the first half."
