Manchester City failed, Guardiola is responsible for it, it really doesn t have a memory

Manchester City lost 0-0 away to Southampton, which ranks last in the Premier League in the 36th round, ending its five-game winning streak and casting a shadow on the four-game battle. The responsibility for all this is Guardiola, and it is full responsibility. He didn't know who he was after just two days of full meal.

Judging from the arrangement of troops in this game, Guardiola is still passing the pass, and has long said that Manchester City's pass is dead this season and is still so persistent. Force your opponent to set up a bus for you. Gvadior is in front of the left side, Foden is in the ribs, De Bruyne is in the center, Lewis is in front of the ribs, McCarthy pulls the edge, and the whole fan shape surrounds the opponent in the half. If you don’t play the bus with you, you will create difficulties for yourself.

Now, Manchester City's pass control is difficult to threaten, and they cannot cooperate in a small range. They have no forward run without the ball, they have no ability to shoot with one kick, they have no breakthrough on the side, and they don't even dare to shoot. The pass route can only be the middle-wing-the-rib-middle-the-pass, and they pass it lonely. It's useless if Haaland is not up, and no one can stand up De Bruyne's occasional high-quality cross. If you want to play a cross, why not let Gvadior enter the ribs forward and make a header during the attack. What effect can he pull the edge?

After being mediocre in the first half, he replaced Doku, Savigno and Marmush in the second half. The effect was immediate. Can't Guardiola see it? Sometimes you need to make a choice. If you let him attack, you will have a chance. Your winger has speed and breakthroughs, you don’t need it. And the center has Haaland. I really don’t know what to think. I’m passing it around slowly, doing useless work. I’m really stubborn.

And Manchester City's biggest problem this season is slowness, no rush, no passion, and no desire for victory. If you don't look at the score, it is difficult for you to see that he is lagging behind in terms of game state.
