The fact that the game has been even close is embarrassing for Guardiola. His tactical changes every week are harming this City team. City can be the best in the world in the 4-2-3-1 & would be if they had someone like Ole Gunnar Solskjær in charge - but they don't. They have Pep

If City do not win the league it is entirely Pep Guardiola's fault - nobody else's. His micromanagement of this team reeks of a control freak. I've said it before and I'll say it again - he wants the credit for the tactics and won't settle for a standard 4-2-3-1 because of that.

Dyche, Hassenhuttl, Solskjaer or any 4-4-2 coach who understands basic balance in possession to break down low blocks, can create a basic overload to play out of a press combined with the ability to press as a unit wins the title with this team. But Pep has to play a false 9.
