Guardiolas side were dumped out of the Champions League by Premier League rivals Tottenahm on Wednesday on away goals, after an outrageous second leg at the Etihad Stadium.Its the third straight season they have failed to progress past the quarter-final stage crashing out to Monaco and Liverpool in his first two seasons.The defeat to Spurs had led the reemergence of Fraudiola jibes from rival fans, over his failure to produce in Europe since his spell in charge of Barcelona, despite millions at his disposal at Bayern Munich and Man City. And now talkSPORT presenter Adrian Durham says the celebrated Spaniard has a huge flaw in his ethos as a manager.I think Pep Guardiola is the architect if his own downfall, he said.In the first leg against Spurs, he started Riyad Mahrez, left out Kevin de Bruyne and had Fabian Delph at left-back because he still hasnt solved that left-back problem in all the time hes been there.He brought De Bruyne and Leroy Sane on after 89 minutes its as if he doesnt know the away goals rule exists! It would surely be better to lose 2-1 than 1-0.In the second leg, Sane comes on in 84 minutes why not before then?Despite the million spend, Manchester City are nowhere closer to a coveted European crown3

Well go back a couple of seasons to the Monaco away game two down in half an hour. Liverpool away last year three down in half an hour.Against Spurs they conceded two at home inside ten minutes and then couldnt defend a corner for the crucial third goal, the handball goal from Fernando Llorente.So, look at those facts Pep Guardiolas game management is non-existent in the Champions League, in a two-legged affair hes had zero skills with game management since hes arrived at Manchester City.This is a huge flaw in what hes doing.For me, Pep is defensively flawed in his selection and tactics.His selection is an issue: Vincent Kompany, no John Stones, De Bruyne left out for no reason and not brought onGuardiola has won the Champions League twice with Barcelona, but has failed to make a final since he left the Spanish club3

Theres an arrogance about it. Hes basically saying, Were going to Spurs but we dont need De Bruyne. Really? Why are you underestimating Spurs?His transfer policy – left-back has been a problem for years and they need a centre-half, so why did they splash 60m on Mahrez?He didnt even come on [against Spurs]! A 60m summer signing, should he be coming on to save you in the Champions League?They didnt actually need him, other areas of the pitch needed addressing another defensive midfielder, another centre-half and another left-back!
