Manchester City need to shake up the squad, they need reinforcements but that can only be done in the summer. Their recent three losses to Real Madrid and now Liverpool yesterday is not good at all. I am sure that Manchester City will make good signings in the summer to improve the squad.
In terms of attacking players, Man City actually only needs a few changes in the midfielders to make a better contribution to the strikers. And for the defense line, it seems like Guardiola really has to make big changes. We can see from the current statistics that Man City can still score big but in fact they have conceded a lot of goals too.
So this season City can only accept their fate of losing the title and even their reputation.

I think it's wrong to talk about loss of reputation because they have been winning for the last few years, not just the EPL but the champions league too and it's impossible to lose reputation in one failed season. A trivial comparison is Manchester United. In their case yes they lost their reputation as soon as they started losing, in their failed season they were below 10th place for a long time, but Manchester City are doing quite well. There are problems, but they are solvable
@baeva, lost of reputation he meant I think is not about losing matches. Imagine if the 115 counts against Manchester City becomes true, and they are eventually relegated to championship, is that not lost of reputation.

In the other hand, I don't think that Manchester City needs such a great reinforcement. What is happening to Manchester City is the natural law that whatever goes up will surely come down. We cannot expect Manchester City continue to dominate the English Premier League for more years. They have really done a lot so far and they need to cool their tempo for a while and then rebuild for a better tomorrow. So, Pep shouldn't be that blamed for what is happening to Manchester city.
