Manchester City is not really missing much of the squad, it's almost the same players that played last season and won the league. Although the Arab owner will pump on more £ in the summer, in my opinion, I think Pep needs to go on sabbatical, take enough rest so he can actually be over his divorce case, City poor run of form almost started after his divorce saga. The man might actually be going through some emotional trauma, is ay this because this is not the Pep we knew.

Guardiola had problems in his personal life, not the players of the team, I don't think he changed the training process after the divorce, or anything else, it's just that the team had a crisis. Maybe everything happened the other way around and because of the problems in the team, Guardiola was in a bad mood and this affected him in the family. We won't know, but it's not so important now, we need to move on and Guardiola is going to bring new young players to the team.

The problem has always been "we have won a lot, we do not need to work too hard anymore" by the players and nothing more. Pep didn't change anything and maybe you can blame him for that, he has purchased some players, Marmoush has been playing his heart out for example, and Poku was insane last game, these are all great. But at the same time, we have way too many players who won so much with City that they do not care about winning or losing anymore, the desire to win is gone.

this doesn't look like you are talking about Manchester city because even though they are experiencing the worse of seasons so far, they have never been nonchalant in their play but always gives it all even in all the games they have ever lost in. against arsenal, they played really well and could have won that game if they where playing against a team as Chelsea or other teams that are not well organized defensively. all the goals they conceded where classic goals that even teams that are having there best of season can still concede. you think pep and the city players don't want to win the league again? if they have the means, they will be ready to win this current league but we all know how football is, when it is not your time it will appear as though everything you are doing is just against you.

This has always been the problem and will stay the problem, personal life has nothing to do with it. In this case, we could always see how things could change, and for that reason I honestly believe that City should be looking for a new team, and get rid of 80% of the current squad.

already with speculation of most of Manchester city players going out of the team in the next transfer window, we might be drawing close to curtain for this current squad of players and hope that the new squad can stand fit enough to withstand the force in the premier league. some old players will still remain and if hopefully the cases of injury reduces to the lowest level, the team can bounce back to what it use to be.
