Gary Neville thinks a total 'reset' is required at Man City

Gary Neville thinks a total 'reset' is required at Man City

Gary Neville believes that a "full reset" is needed at Manchester City.

City's woeful season continued with a 2-0 loss at home to Liverpool at the weekend and the Sky Sports pundit thinks that wholesale changes will be made to Pep Guardiola's squad this summer as they have relinquished their grip on the Premier League title after winning it for four seasons consecutively.

Neville said: "This will be painful for Man City but maybe Pep Guardiola needs it, maybe the club needs it. A full reset.

"They have been running at a million miles an hour for years, the title battles against Liverpool. But they have just run out of legs, run out of steam. They've grown old together.

"Pep Guardiola is going to have to build a brand new title-winning team. He knows what one looks like, that's for sure."

City struggled to pose a threat to Liverpool during the defeat but Guardiola believes that the promising young players at the club ensures that a "bright future" is ahead.

The manager told Sky Sports: "If you lose, you have to lose the way we lost today. I saw many things that this club has a bright future with the players that we have.

"Except Kevin de Bruyne and maybe Nathan Ake, all the players are so young. What the club decides next for the future, there is a bright future for this club in the next years.

"Everyone knows that a part will be here next season for the older players but we have to build for the next step. There is a question of time.

"Even with the amount of absences we have, we played well. They break the lines and can break behind you. They really threaten but we bring them there and all we missed is that in the final third, it depends on the talent to dribble or shoot in the right moment. From there, we build for the future.

"We are far away. We will see in the future. What we have done in previous seasons is good but now we are away from them."
