Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp believes Pep Guardiola is one of a number of managers trying to be too clever for their own good.

The Spaniard saw his Manchester City stars beaten 4-2 by struggling Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday evening as their patchy Premier League form continues.

Guardiola has continually altered his side’s formation, flitting between a back-three and a back-four, while his line ups are also much-changed.

And Redknapp believes the ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss tinkers too much with his team, leaving his players baffled.

He told the Weekend Sports Breakfast: “I was watching Manchester City last night and I didn’t even know how they were [meant to be] playing and I don’t think the players knew either.

“It’s like people are trying to be too clever for their own good.

“It’s getting people in the right slots, doing the jobs they can do and getting the best out of them. There is no magic formula.

“At the moment, I don’t think people know what they are doing. Everyone seems to be playing in the wrong places.

“There are one or two teams at the moment where the managers look like they’re trying to complicate the game too much and prove how clever they can be.”
