You see, as soon as City's attack starts scoring like it used to, they leave no chance for their opponents. And imagine if City scored only one goal again, it would only be a draw again, so it is very important for City to score a lot, because their defense is not as good as it used to be, and in any case Guardiola has always put more emphasis on the attack. But Leicester and West Ham are not the strongest opponents and these teams have a weak defense, so we need to see how City will play against stronger opponents.
Maybe Pep thinks there are still midfielders who can help the defense, this is characteristic of Manchester City which is team with superior attack quality in every match, but you are right that now everything has changed and Manchester City is not the squad it used to be.
It just that at least they got some impressive win, after this break we can see how the changes are, Pep will not stay silent after series of bad responses to him and Manchester City because Pep must have prepared some plans to overcome this situation.
