You could tell during Manchester City’s 1-all draw with Everton yesterday that this Manchester City squad is in desperate need of new players. There is too big a burden being placed on fatigued and injured players currently.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola continues to look disappointed and bemused by his side as they drew 1-1 at home with Everton on Boxing Day. City have now won just one of their last 13 games in all competitions and coughed up a great chance to get back to winning ways as Erling Haaland had a second half penalty kick saved.

Pep Guardiola has said Manchester City won't settle for short-term fixes in the January transfer window in a bid to arrest their damaging run of form.
