Not only on the field, Pep Guardiola also faces the
problem of his wife filing for divorce so it is natural that Man City performance can be bad because mentally Pep Guardiola is under a lot of pressure from outside and inside the field. If in the end the bad results do not get him fired, it means there is something wrong with the management of this club which seems to show how unprepared they are to face change.
This could be the reason for the club's poor performance but the focus has been on Rodri's injury and City has been busy in the market trying to get a replacement. So if he doesn't get them back on track after some time or when Rodri is back and fit again. Then we can conclude that it's the divorce saga with his wife that's affecting his judgement and the club might be forced to take action.
