      Body language expert reveals key clues that Pep Guardiola ‘has no idea’ how to turn Man City crisis around

      by

      A BODY language expert has revealed the key clues that show Pep Guardiola “has no idea” how to turn things around at Manchester City.The champions are suffering their worst run under the Spanish manager after going six games without a win.A body language expert reckons Pep Guardiola ‘has no idea’ how to turn things around at Man CityCredit: GettyThe Spaniard was left with red marks on his face after City’s 3-3 collapse against FeyenoordCity recorded five defeats on the trot heading into last night’s Champions League clash with Feyenoord.They looked to have finally ended the slump by racing into a 3-0 lead at the Etihad.But City’s Dutch visitors piled on the misery by netting three late goals to steal a point.And Guardiola’s last win came a month ago in the league against bottom-place Southampton.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe tactician, who has signed a new contract, appeared shellshocked following last night’s result.He was covered in scratches after rubbing his face throughout the game.And Pep has since released a statement apologising for saying “I want to hurt myself” when commenting on the marks.But one man reckons Guardiola is giving tell-tale signs that he does not know how to turn things around.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSHuman lie detector and body language expert Darren Stanton told OLBG that the perennial title winner is under real pressure in the dugout.Stanton claims actions such as touching his head, flashing fake smiles and sitting in the foetal position reveal that Guardiola is no longer in control of City’s situation.Guardiola left scratching his head as City blow 3-0 lead against FeyenoordGuardiola scratched himself during last night’s Etihad gameHe has apologised for saying ‘I want to hurt myself’And despite signing a new contract to stay until at least 2026, Pep could be leaving his role sooner than expected.Stanton said: “Guardiola is a broken man. There are around 20 red flags in his behaviour. There are combinations of anger, frustration and devastation.“These are normal things to expect from someone in his situation, but he’s had disappointment before and not been as animated as he was against Feyenoord. “He buries his head in his hands and it’s the opposite of a power stance which would be hands on his hips and feet spread apart. “He’s almost in a foetal position and trying to curl up in a ball, it’s like he just wants the current situation that he’s found himself in to end. He wants it to be over. I think he has no idea how he’s going to turn things aroundDarren Stanton, body language expert“He’s going through purgatory and I think these are the most extreme gestures that we’ve seen him make. I really believe he feels like he’s not going to be around at Manchester City for long.“He’s dejected, he’s disappointed, he’s angry, when players are mentioned he turns his face away which suggests that they are going to be in for a rollocking.“Guardiola’s press conference is even more telling, it shows that he is absolutely at the end of his patience. He is touching his head, shrugging his shoulders and doing hand to mouth gestures.“He flashes a fake smile and keeps talking about what his team already has rather than what needs to change. I think he has no idea how he’s going to turn things around.“Non-verbally he is saying that they have no issues which means he cannot work out a strategy going forward which will end this run of form. READ MORE SUN STORIES“When asked about his cuts he offers a sarcastic response and that is used as a deflection. “The fact he has scratched himself is showing extreme anguish and I think it’s because he thinks that he is doing everything right but it hasn’t worked.” More

MMA chiefs will now have to make a major decision over their poster boy.”Personally, I think he fights again. There is a precedent for it. Just look at the man who fought Jake Paul last week. “Of course, I’m talking about former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who was sent to jail in the 1990s for rape. He came out and he had a successful career after that, making millions upon millions of pounds before retiring in 2005.”Sadly, there is a precedent for it. But the UFC now has a massive decision to make. As I said, I think he fights again. I think they stick to the plan that was announced last week at the UFC 309 post-fight press conference and they have him fight late 2025.”Perhaps they said late 2025 in anticipation of this ruling not going McGregor’s way and giving some time for this to blow over – even though something of this magnitude can never, ever blow over.”I believe McGregor will fight again barring a sensational decision from Dana White and all the investors and they axe their poster boy. But I just don’t see that happening and I do see him returning to the octagon late next year.”Questions will have to be asked of the UFC and rightly so. But more so of the man himself, Mr McGregor.””The judge’s instruction and the modest award given was for assault, not for aggravated or exemplary damages.”I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed.Connor McGregor seen outside court after receiving guilty verdict”I am with my family now, focused on my future. “Thank you to all my support worldwide.”A few days later, ‘The Notorious’ added: “People want to hear from me, I needed time.

David Coote remains suspended pending a full investigation.”David’s welfare continues to be of utmost importance to us and we are committed to providing him with the ongoing necessary support he needs through this period.”We are not in a position to comment further at this stage.”There has also been no suggestion that he made any financial gains.Coote maintained his innocence on the matter in a statement and claimed he has always held the “integrity of the game in the highest regard”.A statement read: “Whatever issues I may have had in my personal life they have never affected my decision-making on the field.“I have always held the integrity of the game in the highest regard, refereeing matches impartially and to the best of my ability.”Coote was suspended earlier this month for his foul-mouthed rant about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.He was also filmed snorting a white powder during the Euros this summer.SunSport have exclusively reported that the referee is expected to QUIT from his role before he is sacked.Shocking David Coote video in fullFirst videoFirst man: “What did you think of the Liverpool game earlier when you were fourth official?”Second man (allegedly Coote): “Erm Liverpool were s***.”First man: “What did you think of Jurgen Klopp?”Second man (allegedly Coote): “C***, absolute c***.”First man: “Why would you say that Jurgen Klopp is a c***?”Second man (allegedly Coote): “Erm, aside from having a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown.”Then, he accused me of lying and then just had a right f***ing pop at me – and I’ve got no interest in speaking to somebody whose f***ing arrogant.”So I do my best not to speak to him.
