Jamie Carragher has claimed that Manchester City ’s struggles are down to a lack of threat from wide areas - an element that has seen Pep Guardiola enjoy great success in the past with Barcelona.
The reigning Premier League champions missed out on the chance to cut the gap to Arsenal to two points at the weekend. The Gunners fell to struggling Everton at Goodison Park only to be let off the hook by City who themselves were downed by Tottenham.
It was the latest in an inconsistent run of results for Guardiola’s side having already dropped points in seven games so far this season after only failing to win nine games last term as they edged Liverpool in the race for the title. The Spaniard has so far struggled to find a solution for City’s struggles but former Reds’ defender Carragher has claimed that a lack of threat in behind from wide positions is one of their main failings this term.
