He'll stay and City will pick up form.
'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
After the CL final debacle with the team he picked, it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that some players might be thinking differently about him. Some managers, no matter how good they are overstay their welcome.
This is the biggest challenge of Guardiola's career so far. The disappointment of each other totally ruined Pochettino's and Spurs players season after their loss against Liverpool in 2019..
Not only this, he has a lot of questions in the squad. Jesus is wondering why he isn't playing when the club has no striker, even when he came on he played LW.
Bernado has no idea when he will get a game
I don't know how he fits Grealish, Foden, KDB, Gundogan, Sterling, Mahrez into the team
Sterling wouldn't want to play second fiddle after the Euros he's had.
Laporte will not want to play second fiddle for another season either.
Good point. PSG and Tottenham completely fell off and had a terrible season after they lost in the Champions League final. Actually won't be surprised to see Pep's City has an underwhelming season.
Most expensive PL team ever put out on a pitch yesterday and the most expensive bench. And they lost to Kaneless Spurs 
Lost their last 3 competitive games without scoring.
I’d be slightly concerned if I was a Siddy fan.
Let’s hope Pep perseveres with Ake & Mendy who look like Championship level players.

How mendy cost £52m is a mystery that will never be solved.
Perhaps if ancient aliens devoted a couple of episodes to it they might come close
They'll still be there or there abouts
Norwich at home is probably the game the one game they would have wished for after this run
Pep will be fine, the tooth fairy is coming.
Have lost their control when fans were allowed back in.
Getting battered by Southampton. No patterns of play. Relying on individual brilliance. Enough is fecking enough. OUT
Zero shots on target at home until injury time.
Masterclass.
Masterclass.
What even is City's style of play? Passion merchants.
Seems like the end is slowly coming for him there.
And just when it was getting good.
Struggled v Leicester and now today. Whisper it but we could put a lot of daylight between the 2 of us since they have Chelsea and Liverpool away in their next 2
This could be an off year for City given they are CF less. When the dominant team of the league fades the odd year, it's interesting to see who pounces. It was Liverpool two seasons back (they more than just pounced but dominated that season).

Not sure if this will get enough attention as it's not Ole's United
Pep post match interview
No leaders, just a bunch of well trained robots. Get out Pep, it's not worth it.
Soto had a lot of good chances which they messed up, obviously. They were going thru City midfield at will.
He might just walk because he didn't get his striker signing,
His methods have a limited timespan. He alluded to it himself more or less. He should be moving on, but I guess the money is too good.
United is much bigger than City and Pep wins big trophies hence has credit in the bank (unlike Ole)
Would be great. Even better if he leaves because his team isn't getting support from fans
Chelsea for me since the start. However to early to write City off, but in a span of a week they play Chelsea, PSG and Pool all away. Lose both the PL games it's over.
If the midfielders can't create, his system is f***ed.
He could get away without replacing Aguero last season but going into it with Sterling and Jesus was risky.

Ruling out City after how appalling they were the first few months of last season would be a bit naive.
Just hoping Liverpool fall away as they now know how to win big titles and seem to have gotten their act together
True but the completion is better this year too
Maybe a striker is important to scoring goals.
I'm not sure it's just a wild theory off the top of my head.

If he fails to win the PL this season, he should be sacked tbh.
We could, but the thing with Pep and this City team is that they can go on 12-15 game winning runs and not drop a point at any point in the season.
Yup. Im not sure why City didn't sign a stop gap like Ings
I’d have him if they sacked him. 
It would moronic but let's hope that's the case. That said, City will never sack Pep. It'll he him who decides when to walk away.
It's a shame he didn't buy one then.
