#2 Lack of plan B

Pep Guardiola himself admitted that there is a lack of dynamism in the squad. And this weakness gets more revealing and evident whenever Manchester City losses. The squad often fail to show versatility when Pep Guardiola's primary tactics and his resounding philosophy fails.

Evidently, Manchester City boss is concerned about his team's recent performances. They suffered their 3rd league defeat in four games and failed to handle the pressure from opponents.

There is no plan B for this attack-minded team as they never faced a difficult situation like this under the Spanish coach. The direct football is also taken out of Manchester City's equation as they don't have many tall players to take advantage of high crosses.

Pep Guardiola himself can turn things around for Manchester City and his first strategy should be to instil more dynamism and versatility among the players of the current squad.
