Journalist Enock Konina Essel has taken time to analyze the current situation at the Etihad regarding Manchester City’s poor recent form.
Pep Guardiola’s side have lost six out of their seven last games with an unfortunate 3-3 draw against Feyenoord.
“Pep Guardiola is no longer answering phone calls, he is unreachable, he is often stuck at his office thinking about how to get out of this crisis. Quoted from The Athletic.
“Pep agreed after the 0-4 defeat against Tottenham to have shouted too much in the locker room after the match.
“He admitted to wanting more calm from the players, except that he did not know how to manage his emotions after the match against Feyenoord (3-3).
“Pep has not lost his dressing room, players are not upset, no such story. Players are happy with Pep, Man City managers are happy with Pep’s extension, no matter what the outcome of the crisis. 
“Some club leaders have suggested Man City’s season is over after the Rodri’s injury against Arsenal.
“Pep considers that Manuel Akanji can replace Kovačić and Rodri as number 6.
“The injuries in defense force him to put Ilkay Gündoğan in this position, he who is in great difficulty.
“Several players are on the way out next summer. Ederson, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, or Kyle Walker could leave in 2025.
“Kyle Walker is considered as the player who should leave the club sooner.
“The club ACKNOWLEDGES having made a MISTAKE in delaying the reconstruction of the squad in 2025, but at the same time, Pep Guardiola wanted to have this squad without many recruits, because he was not sure of extending.” Enock was quoted as per The Athletic.
