Manchester City stars tell Pep Guardiola to stop rotating players and tactics

Daily Mail  

Manchester City players asked Pep Guardiola to temper his tinkering during their 45-minute lock-in at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sportsmail can reveal. Sportsmail understands senior players have concerns over Guardiola fiddling with tactics and personnel, and some aired their views during the dressing-room inquest after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. Man City players told Pep Guardiola to stop rotating his team after defeat by Tottenham Nicolas Otamendi and Fernandinho react during Sunday's sixth defeat of the season Guardiola opened the subject to the floor, asking for suggestions as to where they can improve following a defeat that left the champions 22 points adrift of Liverpool. Players are growing frustrated with Guardiola's rotation of tactics and personnel in each game Guardiola will hope Sunday’s debrief has a similar impact before they face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League this month.
