With all the merits that pep guadiola holds to his name, it will be really foolish to actually write them off because Manchester city with the same squad have being deadly and won their dosmetic league but everything doesn't seem to be working for them this time around and that's why the transfer window that's coming up will be very essential for pep guadiola to make some substantial changes and additions to his squad atleast to see the change in tide come the second half of the football season.
Well pep may not really be using the transfer window that much, I'm saying so because looking at pep his problem is much away from players quality or depth of the squad, it all started after he began to suffer series of injuries and then it got to the point the available players couldn't be productive enough as they probably have their psychology affected in all of this, now they are beginning to enter their recovery phase and may most likely get passed it too so it's not the end just yet for them and only a few buys due to injury may actually be necessary else they are still good.
Pep Guardiola has said that the problem with what is happening now is because he lost some of his players due to injury and he still hopes that the players can return to the team and with the note that if there is no other choice then Pep must make purchases in the January transfer market.
Pep Guardiola has proven that he is quite successful as a Manchester City coach since his arrival so don't just because he is down like now many people blame Pep, what is happening now is a natural thing in a football team because of course a team will definitely have problems with performance but I am sure with the experience that Pep has he will be able to bring Manchester City out of the problems they are currently experiencing, everything just takes time.
For Man City competition in the Champion League, it's the same, this season's journey is still very long and they are still worth considering because no one knows how this team will be in the rest of the season, I will never underestimate Man City even though the situation in their team is currently slumping.
