Why is Manchester City missing all four major players this season and not even winning the FA Cup championship?
5:48pm, 19 May 2025【Football】
After Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace 0:1 in the FA Cup final, I chatted with my friend and talked about the coach and he gave a point. He said that coaches like Guardiola are "success and failure."
He can succeed, but he will also face failure, with the faces of angels and devils.
I was very curious and asked him why he said that? He said that Guardiola was too stubborn and would only stick to his own ideas and football philosophy. Only players who fit his own will use it. Those that are not suitable will be in the cold palace and it will be difficult to perform.
If the team does not configure his ideal player for him and his style is not suitable, he will not be able to lead the team to win the championship, and his results will be very poor.
After hearing these words, I think it makes sense and the view is not wrong. In the final, Crystal Palace has a "waistless array" lineup, which vaguely reveals the team's problems.
I don't know if fans have noticed that since Rodri was reimbursed for his injury and failed to play, Manchester City's system has collapsed this season.
Guardiola has tried countless lineups, including the waistless and frontless formations, and has also allowed players to play unfamiliar positions repeatedly and practice new tactics many times.
With Guardiola's ability, he can of course do this, but it will feel awkward as a football fan when watching the game, not too comfortable.
means that the team's offense is not as refreshing as before, and the scene is not good.
It turns out that Manchester City can play football, mercury can pour out the ground, De Bruyne's ghost passes straight, and David Silva's threading needles, so many players can play very ornamental.
With these players suitable for Guardiola's system leaving one by one, retired, and leaving without renewing their contracts when they are old, Manchester City is now ushering in a pain period of alternating new and old.
Lewis, O'Reilly and other players are relatively young and not yet mature; Foden, Gallish and others had hope of replacing De Bruyne, but they were nowhere to be seen and their abilities were declining.
Especially Gallish, he has regressed very quickly in the past two years. Everyone always teases him for "shaking his son". Every time he sees his slightly vicissitudes of face, he always wonders if he went to the nightclub to have fun again and lost his state?
As De Bruyne leaves this season, Manchester City's offensive problems will be even more amplified, and you can't find a suitable successor in the existing lineup.
No wonder Manchester City is extremely eager for Wilz these days and is preparing to introduce this player at a high price. Guardiola can no longer wait and needs to sign a player to improve his team's problems.
Rodri's injury was the fuse. I think the most fundamental reason was that "the player collapsed". He didn't have the right person to meet Guardiola's tactical needs. He was also stubborn and was unwilling to make too many changes. He always implemented his own system to play, and failed in the stubborn process.
Having said that, Manchester United's Amorin is quite similar to Guardiola, and both of them belong to this "philosophical thinking". I have my own philosophy and style of playing. Once I think it is right, I will never allow failure, nor will I change to other routines because of a short-term failure.
Their inherent success philosophy will make them "not turn back without hitting the wall". If they want to learn from Ancelotti, watch the people, or constantly adjust the formation according to the players, this cannot be done.
They also lack some variation in ideas.
The four major players are all empty, this is a microcosm of Manchester City's real strength this season. The worst thing is that they have not said they can make steady progress in the Champions League. They are currently ranked sixth in the Premier League. Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa and others are also eyeing each other, and no one wants to lose their Champions League tickets.
If Manchester City can't even get into the Champions League qualification, it would be too cruel for Guardiola, the most painful season since his coaching career.
He needs to take some responsibility for Manchester City's four major players.
What needs Manchester City to do to recover next season? First of all, we still need to sign, which is needed. From center forward, organizer, midfielder to fullback, Manchester City must continue to introduce players who conform to Guardiola's ideas.
This summer, they will definitely be very busy. To deal with some players in the team who cannot play the ball, and at the same time, they also have to run in with new players and rebuild.
In addition, we have to look forward to the growth of O'Reilly and others.
If you want to talk about what Manchester City has gained this season, it is that O'Reilly and others have received reuse and they have a stable chance to play. Lewis and Bob will also be more important candidates in Manchester City's rotation next season.
There is no good at playing well, and it is not easy to mention that Guardiola dares to use new players and is willing to use them. At least it retains the hope of "growth".
What if you suddenly get enlightened and get famous? Then the team will make a profit and will have a stable lineup structure in the next ten years.
With Guardiola's coaching ability, the trough of this season is also temporary. The offseason signings are good, and the newcomers are mature, and the team's performance will improve immediately.
I will be very looking forward to what stars Manchester City will introduce this summer, and the Premier League will be very interesting next season.
