The Sky Blues will hope to respond positively when they face Leeds United later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the English top flight and the German side in the European competition.
Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. It was a good lesson for me, as experienced as I am as a manager this will inform my future approach.
Pep is probably bringing back those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Leeds United.
The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in question. His side are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after Manchester City, a pivotal week awaits for the manager who, recently, celebrated promotion from the second tier.
I’ll be honest, the current situation is tough; there's plenty of negativity. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how fervent this organization is from the outset. When the going gets tough don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this term to be an easy ride.
