I know players are missing but I think it's fair to criticize Pep on the defensive issues. If the same mistake happens over and over, it can't be all on the players.
"They didn't want to play, they defended so deep and just wanted to counter-attack," Guardiola said after seeing a side he has managed concede five goals for the first time in his 686th game in charge.
"They scored the first time they arrived and had three penalties in total, so it was very difficult for us. The lack of creating chances made us nervous and anxious."
Pretty surprising comments by Pep. I understand taking attention away from your players and all that but to say Leicester didn't want to play? That's pretty poor and disrespecting a great performance by Leicester IMO.
Rated E For Everyone.

Cancelo - £58m, (£25m with Danilo swap)
Mendy - £51m
Stones - £50m
Dias - £50m, (£37m with Otamendi swap)
Walker - £47m
Ake - £40m
Ederson- £36m
Danilo - £27m
Bravo - £16m
How many of those have been successful signings?
Those are all Guardiola signings, if you go back further then you also have Otamendi and Mangala (£40m each).
Ake is too early to tell.
Walker I think was good for the first few seasons but has regressed the last season and a half.
Bravo is a good backup.
The rest I would say have not been successful signings considering their price and what they have produced.

Bravo isn’t a good anything.
That would be hilarious but they just posted 17 minutes ago?
They were suspended for some time, don't know why
Probably got bribe though pretty quick
@Mike do you think the board would ever actually sack Pep?
Just wait until City start winning
only the most active as saying VVD = a big liverpool injury is "bait" but there we go
