There's a lot of reasons why Manchester City has dropped to fifth in the English Premier League table, and longtime coach Pep Guardiola might be one of them.

The article from MSN discusses the current challenges faced by Manchester City, a football club known for its recent dominance in the Premier League. Despite their past successes, the team has shown signs of struggle this season, particularly highlighted by their performance in the UEFA Champions League and a surprising defeat to Arsenal. The piece suggests that the root of these issues might lie with Pep Guardiola, the team's highly acclaimed coach. Guardiola, known for his tactical genius, is now facing criticism for possibly overcomplicating strategies or not adapting well to the current squad's dynamics. The article points out that while Guardiola has transformed Manchester City into a powerhouse, his methods might now be stifling the team's potential, with players appearing less fluid and more predictable. There's also mention of the psychological impact of high expectations and the pressure to maintain an unprecedented level of success, which could be affecting both the players and the coach. The unfortunate truth, as the title suggests, might be that Guardiola's approach, once revolutionary, could be reaching its limits with this particular group of players.
