DANNY MURPHY: Pep Guardiola must dig out his stars... with the axe! It's time for the Man City boss to introduce youthful energy to solve their crisis

Daily Mail  

After another miserable showing, Pep Guardiola has to be bold and give his senior players a kick up the backside. It’s time to introduce youthful energy into the Manchester City team, either through the January transfer window or throwing in the fittest, hungriest players already at the club. Pep Guardiola's side fell to a shocking ninth defeat in their last 12 games in all competitions City's team lack hunger on the pitch and they could solve that by adding youth to their team Ageing stalwarts like Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan weren’t capable of stemming the Villa tide. When Villa signed Amadou Onana and Morgan Rogers from Everton and Middlesbrough, there wasn’t any great fanfare, yet City would love their type in their own team right now. Young midfielder James McAtee has barely had a chance in the City first-team this season Former City academy star Morgan Rogers produced a scintillating display against his old side I never experienced the same success this City team have enjoyed but I remember Gerard Houllier being tough with me when my levels dropped off after a couple of decent seasons at Liverpool.
