Pep Guardiola has 'no idea' how to turn Manchester City crisis around after Feyenoord collapse as body language expert claims revered manager believes his days are numbered

Premier League

Manchester City

Everton

Guardiola looked unusually worse for wear after City's stunning collapse against Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday, showing up for his media duties <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-reveals-scratched-face-man-city-champions-league-draw-feyenoord/bltcfd86e93bb9ce0e3" target="_blank">with a cut on his nose</a>. It had been an extremely stressful evening for the 53-year-old, who watched his side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-feyenoord-erling-haaland-josko-gvardiol-ederson/bltce82c8a88369c378" target="_blank">throw away a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3</a> - a result which followed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/outplayed-every-department-gary-neville-man-city-in-decline-easy-to-play-against-miserable-run-spurs/bltec4243275751da2e" target="_blank">five straight defeats</a> in all competitions.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The City boss cut his nose by scratching himself, a sign of "extreme anguish", with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-releases-statement-furious-backlash-worrying-hurt-myself-remarks-man-city-draw-feyenoord/bltf3f19dbafa41a0dc" target="_blank">the City boss later forced to release a statement after making a "hurt myself" comment in his press conference</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

“Pep Guardiola’s press conference is even more telling, it shows that he is absolutely at the end of his patience," Darren Stanton told <a href="https://www.olbg.com/" target="_blank">OLBG</a>. "He is touching his head, shrugging his shoulders and doing hand to mouth gestures.“He flashes a fake smile and keeps talking about what his team already has rather than what needs to change. I think he has no idea how he’s going to turn things around.“Non-verbally he is saying that they have no issues which means he cannot work out a strategy going forward which will end this run of form. “When asked about his cuts he offers a sarcastic response and that is used as a deflection. The fact he has scratched himself is showing extreme anguish and I think it’s because he thinks that he is doing everything right but it hasn’t worked.”

WHAT THE BODY LANGUAGE EXPERT SAID

Stanton continued by claiming Guardiola displayed "around 20 red flags" as he sat dishevelled on the bench, giving off the look of someone who doesn't believe he will be in charge of City for much longer.“Pep Guardiola is a broken man. There are around 20 red flags in his behaviour. There are combinations of anger, frustration and devastation," he added.“These are normal things to expect from someone in his situation, but he’s had disappointment before and not been as animated as he was against Feyenoord. He buries his head in his hands and it’s the opposite of a power stance which would be hands on his hips and feet spread apart. “He’s almost in a foetal position and trying to curl up in a ball, it’s like he just wants the current situation that he’s found himself in to end. He wants it to be over. “He's going through purgatory and I think these are the most extreme gestures that we've seen him make. I really believe he feels like he's not going to be around at Manchester City for long.“He’s dejected, he’s disappointed, he’s angry, when players are mentioned he turns his face away which suggests that they are going to be in for a rollocking.”

'20 red flags'

The challenge doesn't get any easier for City. They head to Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, knowing that they will be 11 points behind the Reds should they lose.
