I'm now very relieved he didn't come to SB... I know everyone was calling it but even I didn't imagine he would've had this rough a ride in the Prem...

An expensively collected group of players; some of the very best in the world
And some lemons, as @Tenderloin pointed out yesterday. He's short of decent defensive options.

Guardiola is a brilliant and inspirational manager. Sadly for him, his entire training was at Barcelona who were always one of two teams who were in a position to win anyting (OK Athletico sometimes, occasionally, stepped in but in reality it was Barcelona or Real). He took over as manager of Barcelona when they were at their very best. He achieved great things. He went on to Bayern, a team at the pinnacle of Europe and the only team in Germany of any note at that time. He again achieved great things.
He has now come to Man City. An expensively collected group of players; some of the very best in the world. But they are not a team that has dominated anywhere and need to be forged into a team. Unfortunately, there are five other sides in England who are competing for the top slot and, although it was clear this season that it was Man City's to lose, other teams have managed to string results together in a way that Man City have not.
It may be that Guardiola would be better off at PSG.
