According to Pep Guardiola, with the best player, Rodri, also being out for the entire season, it’s going to be a rough ride for the Citizens. Guardiola said that once he has the team back, they will be back to flying.
“Just give me my players back! Give me my players back.. and you will see! It’s difficult when you have to play without 4 central defenders, with 2 holding midfielders being out. With the best player in the world Rodri being out for a whole season. When you had 4 wingers and now just 1. Just give me my players back and you will see Manchester City!” he said.
It should be noted that Manchester City has lost 5 games on the bounce. This is a thing that has never happened to in the former Barcelona coach’s career.
He lost 4-0 to Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League before his side succumbed to Bournemouth in the league.
When the international break came around, the club thought they were going to have a breather. But it was the same story when club football resumed last weekend. At their own grounds, the Etihad, Tottenham Hotspurs demolished the league champions 4-0.
Some of the players who are out for City include Ruben Dias, Oscar Bobb, Rodri, Jeremy Doku and Mateo Kovacic. The club will hope to return to winning ways tonight.
They host Feyenoord in the Champions League before a mouth-watering clash against Liverpool on Sunday in the league.
