Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has commented on Pep Guardiola's struggles in the Premier League.

Pep Comments On Yaya’s City Future

The former Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona coach has come under fire over the past few weeks as his Citizens endured some disappointing results.

The Ivory Coast international believes the Spaniard is still finding his feet in England, but believes he will come out on top.

"I think he's seen how difficult this league is physically but he's a very intelligent guy, he understands football very well," Toure said, as quoted by FourFourTwo.

"He always has to win, to conquer a league, but he's seen that here in England it's complicated because, as we've said before, in England you need to be very strong in the second balls, and also the third and the first balls.

"The manager's idea is that we have to be like Barcelona. It's going to be difficult but with a lot of work we'll continue that way."
