Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed his side’s lack of goals is the main reason why they have ‘suffered’ in his debut season in the Premier League.
The former Barcelona boss arrived England last season following a successful spell in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich; upon his arrival there were hopes that the Spaniard will take the Premier League by storm owing to his past records in Germany and Spain.
But that has not being the case, Manchester City has not been able to stamp their feet in the league in terms of their winning ratio, Pep Guardiola who appears disgruntled by his side’s stance in the Premier League, has now admitted their lack of goals has been a key reason for their inconsistent form.
He said: ‘I knew in the first Champions League game – especially in attack – against Steaua Bucharest when we won 5-0,
‘Normally, that game would have been 12-0. We missed two penalties and so many chances. I was happy because the first target was to qualify but after that, in the Everton and Middlesbrough games, I realised we had to play really, really, well to win games.
‘We created chances but we had problems scoring them and we suffered.
‘We have to be honest with ourselves, we were not good enough to compete for the Premier League.’
Manchester City welcome Hull City to the Etihad on Saturday, as they hope to bounce back from their loss to Chelsea last Wednesday.
