Perhaps what happens to Manchester City this season will be very different from last season, because this season several underdog teams have also undergone changes and could even become stronger this season. So, Manchester City's journey this season won't be easy, although I personally still believe Manchester City will be a team that will return to strength this season. However, the obstacles this season will truly create excessive difficulties for any team, so the players and coaches will have to fight harder this season.
I’d really like to see Man City drop a few more games—just to see how much credit Guardiola has in the eyes of the Sheikhs, and whether he could survive if they somehow missed out on Champions League qualification.
I know that’s a long shot from where we are now, but I’m genuinely curious about the level of patience they have for Guardiola—because he definitely deserves a lot of it.
