It has been a difficult week for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in the aftermath of his side’s 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Everton last weekend.

It wasn’t the afternoon the Spaniard had hoped for at all and the Citizens contingent here in the Transfer Tavern were left frustrated and angry for the entire afternoon, following such a traumatic defeat.

City need a minor miracle to win the league from their current position in the table and it is vital now that they get back in the hunt for a top four finish.

One City fan is tucking into one the landlord’s big breakfast meal deals and he thinks that several members of the first-team squad could be dropped for today’s massive game against Spurs.

Lee Clarke looks at two players who might be dropped for this evening’s contest.

Claudio Bravo

The Chilean must be the only goalkeeper in the world that isn’t capable of saving shots, much to the dismay of the City faithful.

Guardiola pledged his backing behind Bravo ahead of fan favourite Joe Hart in the summer, with the England stopper farmed out on loan instead.

With Willy Caballero, a safe pair of hands waiting patiently on the bench, Bravo will need to up his performances considerably over the next few weeks.

David Silva

The little Spaniard hasn’t looked at his very best in recent weeks and it could be time to hand the midfielder a rest.

One City fan here in the Tavern is sat with his pals having a game of cards and he is of the belief that Silva is struggling too, stating that he could do with a spell out of the spotlight.

Manchester City fans, should these two players be dropped? Who should take their place? Let us know in the comments below!!!
