London: Pep Guardiola admitted Friday his Manchester City team are not as comfortable in possession as they used to be and that they lack the physicality to compete with their Premier League rivals.
City have dominated English football for most of the past decade with a possession-based style that chokes opponents but they have slipped from their stellar standards this season.
The English league champions in six of the past seven years are realistically out of the title race, though they are in fifth spot, just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
City also face an uphill battle to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League after conceding two late goals against Real Madrid in a 3-2 defeat in the knockout phase play-offs on Tuesday.
Guardiola told reporters ahead of Saturday's tough match against Newcastle that City's problems were multi-faceted.
