Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has slammed Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola over his team selection for their FA Cup semifinal defeat to Liverpool.
Guardiola went with Zack Steffen ahead of Ederson and saw the US goalkeeper gift the Reds a goal in the 3-2 defeat.
“Typical Pep Guardiola situation where I feel he has 'over-Pepped' it again," O'Hara said to TalkSPORT. “Just play Ederson, I don't know why you are not playing Ederson.
“You need to be at completely full strength to get a result against Liverpool. The only team I think in the world I look at and go 'you can beat Liverpool' are Manchester City when they are at full-strength.
“But they had no Kyle Walker, no Kevin de Bruyne, they had a real tough midweek clash against Atletico Madrid which would have taken a lot out of them. Liverpool were always going to come flying out of the blocks as they rested players against Benfica.
"They were at full strength, full tilt, and they were playing Steffen in goal. It's almost like you're disrespecting Liverpool in the sense that you think you can turn up in an FA Cup semi-final and play your second-string goalkeeper against the best team in the world right now. Like come on, how many times do you want to do this Pep?"
