We asked for your views on what Pep Guardiola should do to get Manchester City winning again with the Champions having tasted victory just once in their past 11 games.

Here are some of your suggestions:

David: This season is a write-off with Champions League qualification the only minimum requirement. Pep should play as many development/squad players as needed to properly manage injured/fatigued senior squad players – even more so at the Club World Cup. The best City can realistically do is to arrive at the start of next season with a combination of fit/prime senior squad players, the development squad players who flourished this season and some select new signings.

Roy: The players will respond to his “I’m not good enough” statement. He doesn’t need to do anything other than what he has always done to make him football’s greatest manager.

Amanda: Drop Erling Haaland as we are playing with 10 men and no-one can get near him for him to score. Play more attacking football. Play some of the youngsters, as they have energy, legs and desire. Play Phil Foden in his desired central position. Drop Matheus Nunes as he is not confident. Practise corners by holding defenders down like Arsenal do. The players need to be more physical as they look scared of injury. The same old, same will not change anything. We are too easy to read now.

Richard: Pep needs find a new nemesis. Jurgen Klopp is no longer here to bring out his best – but I don’t know if Arne Slot can be the same. The difference between Klopp and Slot is similar to Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. Both fantastic but also like chalk and cheese.

Andrew: It is actually straightforward. There are a lot of players to come back so patience is required. Play the outstanding academy players more, settle on the best available back three for now and wingers to run back like hell (see academy). As soon as centre-backs return, play a double six with either Ilkay Gundogan or Mateo Kovacic combined with either Manuel Akanji or John Stones. Focus on Champions League. Absolutely no panic buys in January.

Steve: Permanent transfers are hard to get in January so if there are any loan options then it could allow players to recover and get back to something like their best to at least finish in the top four before a summer rebuild. We are an aging, injury-prone squad, which is a situation that should have been addressed over the past two seasons. Players sold just haven’t been replaced either and that is poor management by the club. It saddens me to say despite amazing success.
