The bad situation that Manchester City has experienced should not be maintained so Pep should have prepared his unique plan to revive the slumping team after this break. Because Manchester City must at least be able to reach the top four positions for this season in order to return to the UCL next season with a new spirit, but if in the second half of this season Manchester City does not get more changes in every line, of course it will be very difficult to be in the top four zone because several other teams are still quite strong and will also make better changes.
There are rumours that Guardiola wants to strengthen several positions and maybe it will not be superfluous, given that some players are not getting any younger and are hampered by frequent injuries, and those who remain in the ranks are getting tired. Now City will have a few easy games, this will give them time to rest a little and regain confidence in their abilities, before the important match with PSG in the Champions League and the match with Chelsea in the Premier League.
For me it would be a step in the right direction for Manchester city if the coach decides to bring in some new players to help strengthen the squad, it is obvious that the team is in dire need of new players in certain positions which means the club has to participate vigorously in the transfer market at least to replace some of the ageing players especially in midfield and defence. The issues that Manchester city were faced with during some part of this season could be attributed also to the absence of some important players in the team like their injured defensive midfielder, Rodri, Kevin De bruyne who also suffered some injuries problems too and had to be left out of the squad for a quite a period of time so it is very important for the clun to source for new players at this moment.
