Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has no intention of turning to the transfer market to find solutions for his team’s scoring problems, which are posing one of the biggest challenges of his coaching career.
City has scored just 18 goals in its first 12 games in the Premier League, a huge drop-off compared to the last three seasons when Guardiola’s side had netted 40, 36 and 35, respectively, by this stage.
City finished as the top scorer in the league in each of those three seasons — scoring more than 100 goals on two occasions — while Barcelona and Bayern Munich also regularly put up explosive attacking numbers when Guardiola was their coach.
