Players are begging me for players!

Pep says squad needs a shake-up

PEP GUARDIOLA saw his side go ANOTHER game without a win and admitted his struggling side need an injection of new blood in the upcoming transfer window.

Everton's Iliman Ndiaye cancelled out Bernardo Silva's early strike and Erling Haaland had a second-half penalty saved by Jordan Pickford as Manchester City's shocking run stretched to one victory in 13 matches.

"If we can, we have to add players in January, definitely," said Guardiola. "Even the players asked ourselves are we are going to add some players?! Please!'.

"The winter (window) is not easy. We have to add some players but we have to bring players for the next three, four, five years that is not easy."

Guardiola had eight senior players missing for the draw with Sean Dyche's side, with Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish the latest to be sidelined.
