Following the debacle of their clash against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday, Man City appear to have lost steam in their quest for the quadruple and might eventually settle for just about a trophy. The Mancunian side appear to be in a decline since the announcement of Guardiola as the next manager. The lethargy surrounding the team appears to have no end in sight, as the team refused to even celebrate the equalizer scored by Nigerian international Kelechi Ihenacho.

What is worrying is the meandering on pitch of key players like Yaya Toure, David Silva, Pablo Zabaleta and a host of others. What we are basically witnessing is a team that has no soul, no spirit and no resolve, no desire . This has been rehashed by various pundits and we will not waste time to discuss this. Soccerfort will however be examining key positions that need a hands on approach from Guardiola once he takes over as manager.

It is no news that the 2015/16 premier league season has been filled with lot of surprises as two teams – Manchester United and Chelsea – that finished in the top-four position last season are currently sitting 5th and 13th on the log respectively. Newcastle, Sunderland and Aston Villa are however not much of a surprise as the trio finished in the same order above the bottom three last season.
