Manchester City performances are no longer powerful again, unlike before, when the team was so good that most of the teams were even afraid to face them, but now nobody is even talking good about their performances. Last season was a very bad season for them, and instead of the coach doing the needful for the team so that they would be much better, for them to fight for the Champions League and Premier League, he couldn’t do anything about the team.
This shows that, as you said earlier, even this season there will not be any single changes from the teams since the players that they used last season, who performed very poorly for the team, are all in this new season again, and they are expecting their performances to be better. How is that going to be possible? And that’s why people didn’t consider them a favorite team to win any leagues this season.
Manchester City has good players, but I do not expect them to do well in the Champions League this season. The squad performance remains unchanged after playing against Tottenham Spurs, and it is clear that any team can beat them. Manchester City is not using the same players as last season, they have signed more players to improve their performance, yet, we have not seen any improvements in their games, perhaps they need more time to improve.
In my opinion, if Manchester City wants to get back to their winning ways, they must hire a new manager who can build the team with a new strategy. Guardiola lacks the strategy which he can use to improve his team since other teams are familiar with their style of play. Guardiola must leave the team in order to be at the top again, otherwise, Manchester City will struggle to finish among the top four teams this season.
