With Manchester City needing a win to avoid a stunning early exit from the Champions League, Pep Guardiola wasn’t in the mood to discuss the prospect of his once-dominant team crashing out of European club soccer’s most prestigious competition.

There has been a notable drop off in the number of goals from Man City’s inverted forwards in the team. The three-pronged attack of Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane was one of the very best in the world. They helped City manager Pep Guardiola win his first two Premier League titles - the second, part of a domestic treble.

Although Oscar Bobb is fit to play some part against Club Brugge in Manchester City's must-win Champions League group game, with the likes of Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku injured, plus new signings unable to play, does Pep Guardiola have enough depth to change the game if the result is not going their way?
