Jamie Carragher says £55m star is ‘not good enough’ for Man City

Jamie Carragher believes Pep Guardiola faces a huge rebuild at Manchester City this summer.

The reigning champions slippe 20 points สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที behind current Premier League leaders Liverpool after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

It was Man City’s eighth league defeat and leaves Guardiola’s side fifth in the Premier League, just outside the Champions League places.

Manchester City spent almost £200m on new signings in January but Carragher believes further reinforcements will be neede in the summer.

The ex-Liverpool and England defender expects Guardiola to sign a new right-back after offloading Kyle Walker to AC Milan and claims even £55m signing Jeremy Doku is not of the level Man City need.

Doku was one of the few positives from Sunday’s defeat to Liverpool but the Belgian produce little final product despite going past Trent Alexander-Arnold multiple times.

With just six Premier League goals over the past two seasons, Doku is yet to convince Carragher he is ‘good enough’ for Man City.

‘I think looking at where Man City need to improve, right-back will be a big area,’ Carragher said on.

‘Watching the game against Liverpool, I think of Doku – he cause Trent problems but he’s not good enough for Man City.

‘Savinho has had a good season and looks a good player but when you think of the wingers like [Leroy] Sane, [Raheem] Sterling and [Riyad] Mahrez. I think they’re lacking real great wide players right now.’

Discussing Man City’s drop-off, ex-England midfielder Paul Scholes adde: ‘This season it’s a real problem keeping clean sheets.

‘The back four has changing all the time and I’m not sure the goalkeeper has as good. There’s definitely areas in the team which need looking at.’

Following three defeats in their last four games, Manchester City will hope to get back to winning ways on Wednesday night when they face Tottenham.
