Wolverhampton supporters were very much looking forward to the Premier League start at Molineux. Manchester City was the opponent, a giant that for the first time in years showed major signs of weakness last season. There was no Saturday celebration for the Wolves, with a 0-4 win for City, Guardiola showed he has no intention of fighting for third place this season. Still, there was a City manager who doesn’t like the situation with his squad.
“Today Rodri and Phil (Foden) were out, Kovacic is injured but will be back, and Savinho and Josko (Gvardiol) are out. On the bench we had Nathan (Aké) and Gündoğan,” Guardiola begins, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Not many managers would have complained about disposing of these players besides the 11 who beat Wolves, but Guardiola knows this presents problems.
“I like a broad squad that can compete in all competitions, but I don’t want to leave players at home. I don’t want that. It’s not healthy. -You can’t create a good atmosphere or atmosphere to compete in. Everyone must feel that they can play and can help and compete with their teammates against the opponents. The club has known that since last season, so it’s not new, but the situation is what it is,” Guardiola continues.
In other words, a lot of activity that needs to be done in the transfer market before the window closes.
“In the next two weeks, people will talk to players and agents to find a solution,” Guardiola concludes.
