He said, "I think it was difficult because they (City) had so many options.
"Nobody at City thought Cole wasn't good enough. Everyone was sure he was a top player. The problem was that if Cole was going to play, Phil Foden couldn't play, or (Kevin) De Bruyne.
"It's about balance and decision-making."
