🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

is he the biggest reason or is he one of the reasons is he a number of reasons as to why they’re not a top well statistically um that here’s the main reason because theyve only lost two of their 78 games when he’s played which is some stat I mean um it’s quite ironic that pep guardal used to refer to Spurs as the Harry Kane team when actually city are the rod Team without him they’re shapeless they’re rudderless they’re leaderless and they don’t have anybody to protect that back four but there are other issues as well harand if he doesn’t score who is scoring the goals at the moment uh kovage isn’t available either the players for that goal who was tracking that run for James Madison for his first goal um the he gives it he makes the run around son he finds himself in a position to TU it away who is alert enough to pick that up and they are all Basics we’ve seen shots from the All or Nothing documentary haven’t we about the way that um pep is able to identify things specific things in in the dressing room and and hold his players to account for those things I don’t think he’ll be allowing them to cling to the rodery excuse I think you’ll be asking them to look at what they could have done in specific situations to address the problems that he has seen yes it is mostly rodry that you can hang your hat on in terms of an excuse but I think it’s it’s much more than that okay um he admitted he said they are fragile defensively um there are people already writing them off actually if you read some of the papers there are already people saying you know what this is it it’s not going to be their season we know they go on these Sublime runs certainly in the new year they’re still capable of that aren’t they certainly I think they were what was it in 2020 I think they were 13th at this point uh in the season and then they went on and won 15 games in a row so they’re certainly capable of doing that but I think this is the biggest challenge that Pep Guardiola has faced during his time at City there’s so much been going on off the pitch as well uh maybe that’s had an effect distracted some of the players but he needs to really get them in today or tomorrow uh you know speak to them sort this out uh tell them a few home truths about what’s been going wrong about the fact that they’re not working as hard as used to you think that he wouldn’t know how to do that though because he’s never had to do this right he’s never had to call a team in and go hang on a minute that this is not what he does well no that’s not quite true I mean as as Cy was saying the 2020 season they only had 20 points from 12 games uh so 20 points out of 36 um and they managed to turn it around and they managed to put that run together historically in the first half of the Season we’ve said this before they’re hunting around it’s it’s almost like the Grand National you know there is so long too so many competitions to play in so much form so much Jeopardy in terms of injury and all sorts of things that could take place um to affect any team let alone city um I remember the season where Leicester beat them 5-2 he hadn’t signed a contract yet on this very show we were talking about is this the end of the cycle can he rebuild a team and he did it back then so obviously we would be crazy to to write things off but when you say people’s are looking at this and thinking it’s per perilous it’s our job to do that it’s our job to to assess whether or not a team can get to where they normally are by the end of the season and we Bas it on what we’ve seen before we base it on the state of the team as you’ve been summing up carve um and I I I for the first time I worry because I look at what rodri gives out side I look at the fact that Liverpool are doing so well it’s all Royal City self-destructing but it’s whether the other teams around them can take advantage and we all expected the team to take advantage to be Arsenal nobody factored Liverpool into that and if they were to win today against Southampton and beat City next weekend they’ll be 11 points clear and with the way that Anna slot has them like a well old machine top of the League top of their Champions League group four wins out of four in the Champions League the only team so to do defensively they look so strong they’re scoring goals of fun that’s why City should worry because obviously as you say they do have that capability to put that run together in the second half of the season but could they leave themselves with too much to do well even peps says that himself he says lose to Liverpool next week and the gap’s too big do you agree with that is because Liverpool are doing so brilliantly are they going to be impossible Liverpool won today and they win next weekend 11 point if we lose to Liverpool next week he said the Gap will be too big I think definitely at the moment Liverpool are the favorites to win the title they’ve been incredible form under Anna slot I think he’s been in charge for 17 games they’ve won 15 of them only lost one against Nottingham Forest drawn one against Arsenal they are sort of performing The Way Manchester City used to you know they are on course to have a season where they get something like between 90 and 100 points this Manchester City side doesn’t look look like it’s the kind of side who can amass that kind of points tally I think what Pep Guardiola has to do is just look at yesterday’s game and work out why are these players not running as much as they used to why are they not tracking back for instance for the fourth goal why is teimo verer just sliding past car Walker who’s one of the fastest defenders in World football why is il gundan in Midfield not tracking James Madison uh you know he needs to work out because the talent is there I think it’s just a question of confidence application maybe uh and I think Pep Guardiola can sort it out but obviously time is running out and he needs to tort it out if they want to win five in a row there are specific reasons as well why the concern is growing because the previous four defeats they’ all been away from home they’d all been in different uh uh uh competitions and obviously there were players that were not available so you could understand why it would be the case that you could give them a pass here you could give them a pass it this is the first time they’ve been beaten in front of their own fans in 52 matches in two years and when that aura of inab invincibility starts to be lost at home then you can see other teams saying actually they are mortal we can go at them we can take advantage of that hole in the middle of the park and maybe a one or two aging legs in certain positions it might be based even on what we’re saying here that that’s the Grist to the mill that Guardiola needs to create that Siege mentality that he uses so well and we saw another manager in Manchester United in in Manchester used so well over a couple of decades um but certainly from what we’re seeing both there and also at anfield there was a huge huge huge crisis I think we can use that word now around the club [Music]
