      ‘End of an era’: Pep Guardiola warned he needs to sell ‘five or six’ regular Man City starters

      by

      PEP GUARDIOLA has been urged to get ruthless – and radically overhaul his ageing Manchester City squad.The reigning Premier League champions are in the midst of a horror run heading into the festive period. Pep Guardiola is reportedly planning a huge overhaul of personnel at Man CityCredit: ReutersKevin De Bruyne is among those who could be moved on in the new eraCredit: PAGuardiola’s men have lost ground in the title race and are currently 9 points behind leaders Liverpool. City have won just once in their last 11 games ahead of a tough trip to Aston Villa on Saturday. Pep signed on the dotted line last month, committing to two more years at the Etihad. And Spanish football expert Guillem Balague claims Guardiola is desperate to “recover the essence of the team.”READ MORE ON FOOTBALLFirst-team regulars Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Ruben Dias, Ederson and Kyle Walker could all be at risk of being moved on in a dramatic overhaul. Per the Daily Record, Balague said: “Quite clearly Pep Guardiola is going to use the last two years of his contract – which will probably be the last two of his career as a club manager – to prepare a new Manchester City.”I have got a very clear idea that they will want to get rid of five or six regular starters for Manchester City and bring in five or six new starters.”Half of the team. It is a new era. The end of this one and a new era starting.”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSGuardiola’s City have won the last four Prem titles but have never endured such a torrid run of form under the Spaniard.Balague continued: “The cycle is over but remember that only a month-and-a-half ago they had not lost a game and were top of the table. ‘We played like under-15s,’ fumes Bernardo Silva as angry Man City ace admits ‘we deserved’ Man Utd loss “But [an upcoming overhaul] in my eyes is what is happening. That is what they are going to do next.”City threw away a goal advantage in last week’s Manchester derby, leaving Pep to declare both he and the team have “not been good enough.”Guardiola, who did not emerge from the dressing room for 30 minutes after the game, said: “I’m the boss, I’m the manager and I’m not good enough. “I’m not doing well – it’s as simple as that.“I need to talk to them about the way we have to play and press and build-up and I’m not good enough.“I’m the manager and I don’t find the solution. In a big club, when you lose eight in 11 something wrong is happening.READ MORE SUN STORIES”It’s my job. My job is not just to win games or lift trophies. I’m incredibly well-paid for that reason.”We want to play better, create chances. But at the moment it’s not possible. There is no defence for eight defeats in 11.” More

      Phil Foden gave me a footballing lesson I’ll never forget – now I’m making my own way under Man Utd legend

      by

      FINN AZAZ was shown the way to the top by Phil Foden.And the Middlesbrough midfielder hopes to join Manchester City’s England superstar in the Premier League next year by completing an EFL hat-trick of promotions.Phil Foden and his Man City team-mates taught Finn Azaz a footballing lessonCredit: AlamyBut Azaz is now aiming to get revenge but first needs to earn a promotion with Michael Carrick’s MiddlesbroughCredit: GettyAzaz, 24, went up from League Two with Cheltenham in 2021 and then League One in 2023 at Plymouth — who Boro visit today.And he can keep his biennial promotion streak going by helping Middlesbrough into the Prem. During his stint at Cheltenham he played against Foden in the 2020-21 FA Cup — and the Robins gave Pep Guardiola’s stars a fright, leading through an Alfie May goal until the 81st minute.But late strikes from Foden, Gabriel Jesus and Ferran Torres spared City’s blushes.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLAzaz admits that match taught him a lesson. He said: “I’ve always wanted to play in the Premier League but that day showed me the gap I had to bridge if I was ever going to make it.“I did well and realised that although these are guys you’re watching every week on TV, they’re just normal people when playing them.“But it was an eye-opener. Foden was wearing moulds and the pitch was terrible that day. Yet he showed incredible balance.“I never get cramps — but that day I did! All that taught me I must do a lot better if I want to reach that level. That was my first season playing men’s football and to win League Two was special.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS“I grew so much as a person and the manager Michael Duff showed so much trust to play me.”Azaz — who did not play a competitive game for Aston Villa in three years there — was on loan at Argyle 12 months ago, where he scored 15 goals and made 15 assists in 67 games.Manchester City’s Phil Foden shuns posh holiday for £100 tent at a £14-a-day fishing lake in the CotswoldsAnd he has had a fantastic 2024 since deciding to join Michael Carrick’s Boro in January for £2million.Not only has he been a key cog for the  Teessiders — reflected by him winning the Sky Bet Championship player of the month for November — but he has broken into the Republic of Ireland team too.He said: “I find it hard to reflect on a year while you’re still in the moment. “I came here to help get this team promoted but we weren’t able to do that last season — so that’s the target come May. That’s all I’m thinking about.“And with the Republic of Ireland, the goal is to reach the 2026 World Cup. So everything is a work in progress.”He says his game has kicked on since moving to the Riverside, with 14 goal contributions this season (six goals, eight assists) — only  Norwich’s Borja Sainz has more (15 goals, two assists) in the Championship.Plus he is one of only two players with five goals and five assists in the division, along with Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer. His assist tally is the most in the division.And he credits Carrick as a huge influence.The former Manchester United, West Ham, Tottenham and England ace has slowly got Boro moving in the right direction since taking over two years ago — and holds an impressive 50 per cent win record.Azaz explained: “The manager is detailed and the tempo of the sessions is unreal. You must be on it all the time.“He has made sure everyone knows their job and what is expected of them in training. There is a lot of trust from players to management.“The boss demands high standards but he’s also calm in his approach. The way he explains things I really like.“Every manager I’ve worked with has been different but from an experience point of view from playing, he’s far and away the best.”Azaz believes the team spirit at the Riverside has been particularly impressive, with a strong bond among his team-mates.He added: “We’re always doing stuff together. We have a pool table, two table tennis tables and darts at the training ground.“You will still see some of the players shooting pool at 4pm. Most changing rooms I’ve been involved in want to get off but here people stay.“Dan Barlaser is a good pool player — but I’ve got his number. I’m decent, I take my time and it frustrates the opponent.”Azaz has an interesting family background — son of an Israeli mother and an Irish father.He enjoys visiting Israel and said: “I love doing all the cultural stuff. I’ve been to  Jerusalem and gone to the desert.“But Tel Aviv is my favourite. It’s such a vibrant city. The beaches are unreal.”READ MORE SUN STORIESAzaz has already made a New Year’s resolution: “To be present in 2025.”He could well be so — in the Premier League. More

      I was playing in NINTH tier after following Saka’s route into football – now I want to upstage Arsenal star at Wembley

      by

      ANIS MEHMETI is on a mission to follow in Bukayo Saka’s footsteps  — and upstage the England ace at Wembley.Like illustrious Arsenal and Three Lions stars Saka and Raheem Sterling, the Bristol City ace honed his skills on the streets of North London.Anis Mehmeti followed Bukayo Saka’s route into footballCredit: GettyBut the Albania star is now looking to upstage Saka at WembleyCredit: PAAnd now he is dreaming of following the duo on to the biggest stage when England start their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in March.That would see wingman Mehmeti, already capped three times by Albania, complete a remarkable journey from the capital’s cages to Wembley’s iconic arch.Mehmeti, 23, told SunSport: “I learned to play my football on the streets of London since I was three or four.“I grew up on an estate so all I wanted to do was play football in the cages and that’s where I learned to be fearless.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“It’s because of that upbringing that I love to play attacking football and take on my opponents.“You’ve got to be brave in those settings and that’s the way I still am and I’m not going to change.“It was the same with the likes of Sterling and Bukayo Saka, albeit in different parts of North London.“But it all boil downs to the same things — loving football and enjoying the game which is the reason we play.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSMehmeti thrived under the watchful eyes of his parents, who moved to England some 25 years ago.He added: “It’s a long time ago but we played every day. I still want to play every single day and it would be a dream come true for me to represent Albania against England.Arsenal star Saka stars in touching ad for Persil“I was born in England but my blood is Albanian and I speak Albanian. And I used to visit every summer until I became a pro footballer when you make sacrifices.”Mehmeti could face Kyle Walker, Trent Alexander-Arnold or Ben White when Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions reign begins. But the Robins man will not be daunted by anyone he pits his wits against. The Islington-born ace said: “I always joke with the lads that, respectfully, I don’t care who’s in front of me.”I don’t want to sound arrogant but I know what I can do and games like England versus Albania are the sort you live for.“It’s exciting Albania have been drawn in England’s group and I’m determined to be part of it.“I’ve played three times for Albania but there’s been a stint where I didn’t get called up over the last year.“That’s frustrating but hopefully I’ll get a chance to play England because you want to test yourself against the best.“I feel ready. I’m feeling sharp. I’ve just got to keep working hard for the team, scoring goals and, hopefully, the Albanian Federation will call.”Mehmeti aims to add to his six goals this term when the Robins visit West Brom tomorrow.He has become a crowd favourite following a £1million move from Wycombe in January 2023 that capped a rise from non-league football.After a youth career at Fulham, Tottenham and Norwich, he dropped down to join Woodford Town in Essex.He said: “I ended up clubless for a while because of Covid.“I always had belief in myself but there’s doubts when it’s five months without a club and you wonder when the next chance will arise.“I played for Woodford in the Essex Senior League which was a lifeline and I always trained hard so I was ready.READ MORE SUN STORIES“That paid off when I got into Wycombe on trial for the B team before I really kicked on.“It’s been a rough ride, and I know there’s going to be more struggles but I’m ready because I’ve never had a straight road in football.” More
