Guardiola Accuses His Team of Being Timid in Leverkusen Loss
Pep Guardiola's side look to regroup when they welcome Leeds later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the domestic league and the German side in the UCL.
Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. This served as a valuable lesson, despite my managerial experience it was a good lesson for me for the future.
Guardiola is expected to reinstate those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing the visiting team.
Farke's Team Aim to Improve Performance at City's Home Ground

Truthfully, things aren't fun right now; we’re getting a lot of stick. But I don’t need to hide. I understood how fervent this organization is from the beginning. If you're not up for the pressure don’t become manager of Leeds United. It wasn't my assumption this campaign to be an simple task.
