MASTER tactician Pep Guardiola says he cannot work out why he has been unable to lift his Manchester City players.
The champions host West Ham today looking to secure the rarity of back-to-back wins.
That seems absurd for a side that has lifted four Premier League titles in a row.
But Sunday's 2-0 victory over Leicester was only a second win in 14 games, a sign of just how far they have tumbled.
Guardiola hopes it is a turning point after their shambolic run.
But he is not naive either. Amid their alarming fall from grace, the Catalan has had to make some big calls on gilded, loyal players, such as Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker, who have helped him bag an astonishing 18 trophies.
