“We have to cut out some of our mistakes but the main thing in English football is controlling the second ball. Without that you cannot survive. The second goal at Leicester came from a throw-in, the second ball was a goal.
“In many other countries when one guy has the ball at his feet the people know what is going to happen. Here the football is more unpredictable because the ball is in the air more than on the floor. I only needed to see one game to understand English football: Swansea 5 Crystal Palace 4. Nine goals, eight from set pieces. That is English football and I have to adapt.”

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is getting a lot of criticism for the changes he keeps making to his team and formation, especially with them defending as badly as they did against Leicester last weekend.
It is true that City are going through a bad time. Even Wednesday's win over Watford was not a convincing one - but there is definitely no need to panic.
What Guardiola has done so far tells us that, after 26 games in charge of City in all competitions, he does not know his best XI or the way he wants to play.

He isn't looking a great fit for City at the moment. Unlikely to cost them their place in the Premier League though. | | | |

Well, they are at the same level, so maybe Bob can help him improve. A bit of coaching consultancy on the side.  |  | | |

The guy is overrated, Bayerns previous manager did better there, and no matter what manager is in charge Bayern will win the German league, just like who ever is in charge at Celtic will win Scottish league | | | |
