In modern football, he’s arguably the godfather and a role model to up-and-coming managers—the Xabi Alonso of this world, the Xavis, the Vincent Kompany, and so on.

He’s heavily influenced these three men, and it is reflected in their coaching style. When either of these three men has challenging times ahead of them, they usually call Pep Guardiola, get some insight and inspiration, and, more often than not, tackle the metaphorical wave that was heading their wave.

Now, though, football fans who help others may need some help themselves. After the 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham, Pep Guardiola’s men have lost their last five in a row. For City, this unchartered territory.

This is the Man City that won the treble a couple of seasons back. Okay, no, Rodri, but to fall this far back in the absence of one player, is this normal? It doesn’t appear so, but the former Atletico player plays the position better than anyone, it can be argued.

Despite being a DM, Rodrgio must also be a good centre-forward. City’s goals have dried up in this period, too. On a serious note, the link, the symphony starts with the conductor, and well, Manchester City’s is out for the season.

The rest of the musical sounds like strangled cats and dogs. This may be controversial, but Pep Guardiola is outstaying his welcome. With 18 titles, six of them Premier League titles, one Club World Cup, and a Champions League, indeed, can he deserve one ‘bad season’?

Well, almost one thing is for certain: Man City will be spending a lot of money in the summer transfer window. My thoughts are that we might see a record or two broken by Man City.

Please don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts. City’s rival fans will only enjoy this for a short time; the Premier League champions will be back.
