I NEED TIME TO ADAPT TO ENGLISH STYLE OF FOOTBALL - PEP GUARDIOLA


Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted he still needs time to adapt to English football after overseeing the worst run of his managerial career.

The Spaniard, who replaced Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad in the summer, enjoyed a sensational start to life at City, winning his first 10 matches in charge.

But Guardiola has watched his new side's form nosedive in recent weeks and City are
now without a win in their last six matches in all competitions
Prior to joining City, Guardiola had never gone more than five matches without a win during his trophy-laden spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

And ahead of City's trip to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, Guardiola has admitted that he is still trying to get to grips with the rigours of the English game.

"Many things have changed in the last six games," he said. "In the beginning we were winning and now we're not.

"But, we are fighting, like we were in the beginning. I need time to learn, improve...I am still in that process.
