‘Flat and slow and not good!’ - Brutal Guardiola tears into 'boring' Man City

Manchester City may have secured their passage into the FA Cup fifth round, but manager Pep Guardiola was left far from impressed by what he witnessed at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Despite a 2-0 victory over League Two outfit Salford City, the Catalan coach offered a scathing assessment of his side's display, labelling the performance "flat and slow and not good." It was a result that got the job done, but the manner of the victory left much to be desired for the reigning Premier League champions.

Foden's struggles continue in City's laboured win over Salford

It's just as well Manchester City once again spent big during the January transfer window, as Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo were needed off the bench to help Pep Guardiola's men overcome Salford City in a surprisingly competitive FA Cup fourth-round clash at the Etihad on Saturday afternoon. Despite being gifted an early lead through Alfie Dorrington's own goal, City struggled horribly to break down their League Two opponents, while at the same time giving the visitors a couple of clear sights of goal.
