During a recent match against Bournemouth, Guardiola emphasized the difficulty he faces in selecting his starting lineup due to the team's depth and quality. He wants to work with a smaller squad next term, where he can give more playing time to each player and avoid leaving talented individuals on the bench.

Guardiola stated that he doesn't want to have a situation where he has to leave several players out of the team for an extended period. He believes this can hinder their development and affect the team's overall performance.

The manager also mentioned that he struggled to select a starting lineup earlier in the season due to injuries and suspensions. However, he is concerned that this issue will persist if the squad remains large.

Guardiola is willing to quit if the team's current size is not addressed. He wants the club to make adjustments to create a more balanced and cohesive squad for the next season.
