Yaya Toure reveals what Manchester City must do in January to stop Liverpool's title run

Image
Yaya Toure has called on Pep Guardiola to sign a defender this January and stop playing the likes of Rodrigo and Fernandinho in the back. 

 Rodrigo and Fernandinho are better suited in the holding midfield role and not the centre backs. City have now lost three games in just 12 games played this season and sit 4th in the Premier League table, 9 points off Liverpool.. 

 Another defeat and they can kiss their chances of winning a third consecutive Premier League title goodbye. 

 Yaya Toure was asked what he thinks about City and he had this to say:

 "I think it might be hard {to win the Premier League title again} but in January you have to get a defender", Toure told Sky Sports. 

 "It's not too late, nothing is too late. When i watch the game i don't want to blame nobody, i don't want to blame Rodrigo, he's a young player and a good player, but i think if Fernandinho was in the middle it would be really important. 

 "City miss him in there, he is strong, sharp, clear and anticipates and tackles. I respect the decision of the manager because he is so clever and so smart but i don't like him in defense. They need to bring someone experienced in defence because Laporte is injured for a long time and Mendy was not there'. 

 Pep Guardiola's decision not to replace Vincent Kompany but rather switch Fernandinho from a holding midfielder to a defender is beginning to backfire.. City are struggling at the back and losing grounds to the likes of Liverpool, Leicester City and Chelsea.

The 3 reasons why Manchester City might never win the Champions League under Guardiola

Winning the Champions League is difficult, a very difficult competition that only few clubs in Europe have managed to win in history.  Real Madrid might have made a mockery of how difficult it is by winning it 13 times of which 3 were won in quick succession. But over the years it has shown that achieving that fate involves more than just having Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane.  It requires having a world class team alongside with a very good bench that can rival the best teams in Europe.  The team and manager must believe its possible to beat the best and be the best at all times. That self believe is what is lacking in Manchester City and hampering their progress in the Champions League.  Pep Guardiola might have won it 2 times with Barcelona but winning it again with Manchester City will be much harder.  Why? The fans don't believe, they're not as passionate as fans in Anfield who always give their players the aura of gods when they pla...
