Guardiola Calls for Change at "Fragile" Manchester City Following Loss
Posted on January 21, 2026, updated on January 21, 2026
Pep Guardiola has highlighted the pressing need for change at Manchester City after their disappointing 3-1 defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. The loss marked another setback for the club, which has struggled with form lately, making it a worrying time for both the team and its supporters.
Guardiola described his players as "fragile," reflecting on the pressure mounting after a series of poor results, including four winless matches in all competitions this year. The absence of key players due to injuries has compounded their struggles, leading to a visibly depleted squad during crucial fixtures.
With their chances of automatic qualification for the Champions League knockout stages on shaky ground, Guardiola emphasized the urgency to reverse their current trajectory. The manager acknowledged the quality of Bodo/Glimt but lamented his team’s inability to seize control during the match.
As City prepares for a critical upcoming fixture against Galatasaray, the spotlight will be on how they respond to this adversity. Guardiola’s call for improvement indicates a strong desire to reclaim their dominance but also exposes the vulnerabilities that have emerged in recent performances.
