Will Pep Guardiola be able to fix Manchester City's 'lack of hunger?' | Premier League | NBC Sports

[@LondGWils]

Tottenham lost Kane who was supposedly irreplaceable. Spurs this season leads the league in goals scored. No player is irreplaceable.

[@zigster1298]

I find the comparison of Slot this year to Leicester winning the league because no-one else was at it REALLY disrespectful. We’re also top of the Champions League table! He’s doing a fantastic job, and we would still be top of the league even if City were in better form.

[@abhilashsathyamoorthi8221]

Slot is a good coach and has eased the post Klopp Transition despite what rivals think

[@naveendennis]

In the end pundit opinions don’t matter that much. Just be happy that Liverpool is doing well 🙂I am! 😄

[@MCFCTheMadHatter]

Until Pep adapts his stupid obsession with an absurd high backline with 3 instead of 4, City will continue to drop points. Having a high line with a slow attack and even slower midfield means virtually any team we play will score goals. All up to Pep

[@wahidj4773]

Absolutely. Dont know why he cant see that?

[@itsmeprasad1987]

Pep doesn’t change

[@Robert-i4g]

Well I am not a city fan but that same strategy brought you all the success... Why just change it because the team is going through a bad patch?

[@harvey2609]

EXACTLY!!! The problem is PEP. He insists on playing this ridiculously high line with players that no longer have the legs for it. If you notice we have not made any changes in style despite the fact we are getting hammered by average teams.

[@blueshadow62]

Still did but we had Rodri Plus our defense is really underperforming He made a slight adjustment playin Rico in midfield instead of defense

[@lfcspectre4335]

Liverpool has more of massive injuries this season than 115 fc or Arsenal doing this title race so far.

[@karlmatuke5229]

​@Butterratbee the duel I can't wait is Salah vs Gvardiol. Gvardiol is crap defensively as a fullback. Ben Doak absolutely cooked him in Croatia vs Scotland and he was woeful defensively today

It is not about today, they are struggling for a while already because Rodri is missing. Now it is clearly visible why Rodri got a golden ball

Liverpool did the same thing in 2019 when the beat city in December so the know what to do.

[@iskandardarmali626]

If any sports team lose any game because they are missing a player. Even if it is their best player. The whole organization should seriously look at themselves. It should not be the case.

[@Otto-1943]

Happen to Manchester united when they won 4 league titles and treble in late 90s and early 2000 It took ferguson few years to rebuild the team with new players like Rooney, Ronaldo, Carrick,Tavez, I’m pretty sure Guardiola will be capable to do same thing.

[@KingD1000x]

Sir Alex won multiple leagues when United weren't the most talented. Pep has never won without the most talented team. We are seeing the drop off without Rodri and KDB. Sir Alex clears Pep.

[@NeilLewis77]

@@KingD1000x no he didnt. sir alex won multiple leagues only once he could afford to take other clubs best players off them. starting with cantona.

[@tomislavmamic1586]

No Kovaćić today was big because he covered for Rodri

[@milesellis1885]

You know…there were two teams on the field today! And the winners were missing their starting defensive pairing and Betancur!

[@znhait]

At this point, it’s clear that City aren’t very good right now. Any rational person understands that their losses is due to them more than their opponents.

[@PazLeBon]

maybe better without em

[@ta4504]

Pep has to think twice before selling players,why you keep aged players then selling U25 players like palmer, Alvarez en Gomez

[@maneshipocrates2264]

Just like Chelsea struggled when Makele, Kante, Matic left, until Caceido-Lavia duo arrived. They need to find a player like Rodri fast.

[@nicolasb.henry294]

They won everything even the Champions...they have no challenges. I don't think it was a good idea for Guardiola to sign a new contract. Maybe it is time for him to go they are at the end of a cycle.

[@usneome]

City created many chances but could not score. If they continue creating chances they will be fine long term…

[@baconmemories5416]

Could be little too late after they play Liverpool

[@drep9028]

Yup. Haaland was a big culprit to be fair

Spurs fans seriouslt need to give Ben Davies some credit, he is a fabulous backup player.

[@JD-jonah]

Pep has to persuade Man City top hierarchy to renew the contracts for Epl referee's plus VAR officials then he can start winning again 😂😂😂

[@darkside99]

The commonality for Pep's history is big clubs + money. When going gets tough and if he cannot spend, then we can see how gd he really is. I personally wld like to see him manage a Wrexham-like club and get to the top.

[@PazLeBon]

doh

[@wahidj4773]

You expect him to coach bournemouth after winning treble with barca? Or you want to say he must win title in every fucking season? Like every other manager, he also has some flaws. But there is no doubt he is one of the greatest managers in the history.

[@ตํารวจ]

Peb is a normal head coach who choose to be manager with team that can win football league almost season. 9 years ago at Mancity and 4 years at Bayern Peb can win UCL only one time. When Pep hasn't worldclass players like Messi Debuyne Rody He will be a normal manager even though He has many good players in his team.

1:13 "He will find a way..." It's funny to me how there's been zero narrative given about the Rodri loss which happened in WEEK 5 until now, and yet we hear now, Pep will figure it out. How about we just say that Rodri was the lynchpin that held it all together this year, who deservedly won the Ballon d'Or, and now they are truly struggling to replace him, no matter how great Pep is.

[@belloabayomi8931]

[@normantan7796]

What? you need Liverpool to be your wake up call? Man City was fully awake since day one well prepared but they are a walking dead who missed the starting gun. Liverpool will be no difference not a wake up call.😂😂😂

Pep is great, but life is real. We have seen great teams in history, but in life nothing lasts forever. Messi and Christiano are no longer playing in the elite leagues.

This is more than about missing Rodri. Pep slow build up and possession football is outdated. His players are just too slow to compete at the highest level.
