He was on the bench last week and was laughing as Tottenham was defeating man city. Maybe Guardiola decided to suspend him from the team because of that

A man of culture. 😁

Honestly, we have a big problem this season. I don't think it is tactics, but with recruitment. We have totally neglected bringing players with intensity and it is a problem.

The only person I saw real intensity was Khusanov and worse of all, the transfer market is closing.

I wonder the plan now but we have really bottled our approach this season.

I don't think it is tactics that is the problem. Almost all EPL coaches are using his coaching methods and I don't believe you can coach it better than the master. Our problem is actually the squad. We lack real runners and it is affecting us. Our off the ball rate is really disheartening to watch.

I feel Zidane will be smoked in the EPL.

The best Manager for me that will fit seamlessly into Manchester City is Vincent Kompany.

We need to really build a team of players that have insane stamina, ball winning capability and also carry out forward play.

Hahaha, i wanted to watch the match but when I realised it was 89 mins and 1-1, I was like game over

So city conceded at the die mins just as how Burnley conceded late yesterday.

No team has won 3 straight games so far.

Arsenal and Liverpool, either they shared the point or one of them will drop points today

That’s the reason it’s called EPL.

No free point anywhere.

With the arrival of Pep Lijnders, I felt we were moving into building a team of runners but as the season has gone, apart from Khusanov, I don't see that stamina and work rate.

What you see in Kudus, Baleba, Eberechi Eze, Sarr, Richarlison and others.

Glad the international break is on. That will give the coaching crew time to reflect and rebuild our approach. But, it seems it is going to be a tough season.

It's now obvious that they are the only ready side. The other top clubs are in transition.

Liverpool especially should have added to their squad. Not replacements

If you know Pep Guardiola, you will know he is about the game. The game just got more interesting with many coaches adopting his methods and coaching it well.

This will be a big challenge to try and shine in such scenario.

So leaving for ovation is just not for Pep.

I think he can inspire us to dominate the game but he needs to change his priority.

When the next window comes, we should shop for intensity and stamina. Total rebuild.

I disagree with your submission. Guardiola left a prime Barcelona and Bayern Munich, so what are you talking about?

He left both for a big challenge of spreading his football message. Now it is wide spread. So he can't leave for that reason.

Guardiola can't be found out when coaches are still studying and learning from him.

The problem is that the players really lack speed, intensity and stamina. We have not addressed it.

Why retire when were are having one of the brightest tactical times in football. Guardiola is a tactician. Solving this will be so intriguing.

There is no relationship between this and the score line

Chairman, read the comment that I mentioned. We were talking about why some of the best legs are kept on the bench and in some instances sold off.

It's not always about winning matches. Sometimes it's about making profits from players.

This one is just rant. Nothing to back up what you are saying.

Even during the World Club Cup, Guardiola made some brilliant tactical inventions that was interesting.

All the modern coaches say they still study Guardiola's tactics to learn from it. So how can it be outdated when other coaches are using it.

Our problem is simple our players lack the legs and it seems almost all teams have better runners than us.
