Guardiola told his Man City defence isn’t good enough

Man City defence not good enough to compete with elite teams.

Pep Guardiola’s men tasted defeat for the first team this season losing 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Joao Cancelo was seen making a few mistakes in that game that ultimately resulted in a Mo Salah goal.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Man City lacks defenders to compete with elite clubs in European football.

“We’ve seen in the past Pep [Guardiola] tinker around with his team. I personally do not feel that the defence that he’s got, whichever two [centre-backs] he puts out, are good enough at the highest level against the highest level to be two-on-two at the back like that,” Wright said.

“I thought you’d see Cancelo coming in and making that mistake [for Mohamed Salah’s goal]. In the Champions League you will be punished, we know that they have got Erling Haaland up top now – who will score goals out of nothing and like I say he should’ve scored today. But defensively, if they leave themselves that bare, they will be punished and we’ve seen that before.”
