How are the mighty falling? Manchester City now have to share the odds with Liverpool and other elite competitors because they've fallen from the very top and this is not a good thing for them definitely not now they've faced more prominent oppositions. Pep Guardiola will always make sure he's having a best season but do you think we can say it out loud now? Nope because the Citizens had a poor season and this have claimed the good reputation of the club. Liverpool is next in line after Manchester City followed by Arsenal and Chelsea. We're simply looking at the fierce oppositions of roughly teams that wouldn't give up so easily.
The case of Manchester City is not giving me worries at all because I'm very sure that it's only a matter of time before we are going to bounce back. There is always a time like this. We should also look at when Manchester City was a top-notch club that was feared by every other club, but now, just because of the imbalance that they are going through, everyone thinks it's all over for Manchester City. And even by now I am sure that Pep is cooking this season because when it comes to Pep, they are doing everything possible. to get back on his feet because this last season was a very rough one for Pep because even the divorce case must have affected him, so this season should be like a new beginning for him.
When it comes to preparation ahead of next season, I can tell you that every club is doing that currently. However, the Manchester City case is kind of different to me. I notice that injury was one of the reasons why City had a bad season last season, and also, as you said, Pep's divorce must have affected him mentally.
Many people said that too, but I want to believe that by the next coming season, if the divorce was really the case, then by then he should be okay, and they will deliver the expected result in Manchester City. Maybe the city will get back strong next season; nobody can tell for now. I feel like any prediction is too early right now.
