Lake – who spent 10 years in the club’s senior team – spoke about Guardiola on BBC Radio Manchester’s Total Sport: “For the fans, players and squad it’s really reassuring, but for many of us it calms the nerves. There is a bit of nervousness. around the form of late and the fact that we have failed to miss certain individuals, especially in midfield.
“It calms the waters to an extent, but whatever person Pep is, the legacy he leaves at Manchester City is probably not where he wants it to be.
“This year allows players to come back, new players to come into the area and get a chance to get into the set-up.
“But it also allows Pep to leave in the way he wants. There are frustrations and I never thought I would say it with the incredible squad we have, that we would miss one player so much when we have done.” I think this highlights that we need different players and build in a different way.
“There are a lot of things that I think Pep will be excited about once he gets the guarantees. He has another season and there are things that have emerged in recent weeks that were unknown to Pep – these are challenges he has to do with.” wants to rectify.”
