Guardiola had a small cut on his nose following the match, and in his press conference he explained how it happened.Ballon D’Or winner Rodri, is out injured for the rest of the season, while other midfielders such as the aging Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Manuel Nunes and Matteo Kovacic , have struggled for form and consistency to fill the void left by Rodri.
Carragher was speaking on Sky Sport’s Monday Night Football when he was asked if City were in a crisis.“The problems they have in the midfield, I don’t think they can fix that with the personnel they have now. I think they would have to attack the transfer market in January. But that’s a problem for them because of the situation they find themselves in, in the Premier League. Because it will put players off, coming in the middle of a season.
“The problem they have in central midfield are reminiscent of the problems Liverpool had a couple years ago when they had Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in that role. The legs are just gone. They’re getting done on the counter attack and that’s what is happening to City right now.”
