Pep Guardiola expressed concern over the size of Manchester City's squad, describing it as "not healthy" following a 4-0 win against Wolves. Despite impressive performances from new players like Tijjani Reijnders and debut goals from Rayan Cherki, Guardiola emphasized the negative impact of having too many players. Key departures, including Ederson and James McAtee, raised issues of squad balance. Guardiola noted that leaving players at home hinders team morale and urged for reductions in the squad size for improved competitiveness and atmosphere within the team.
"Too many people," said Guardiola. "It's not about Eddy [Ederson], today [there] was [no] Rodri, Phil [Foden], [Mateo] Kovacic, Savinho and Josko [Gvardiol]."
Guardiola emphasized a need to reduce the squad size, stating, "You cannot create a good vibe or atmosphere to compete. The club has known [about] it since last season."
