Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has questioned the future of the current Manchester City team. Carragher wrote in the Daily Mail: "The players who helped Mancini capture the title in 2012 are the ones who Pellegrini relied on and they even became champions in similarly dramatic circumstances, capitalising when the team that seemed destined for first place capsized on the run-in.
"Some would argue Pellegrini's team are more expansive but how important was that?
"City's goal difference in 2012 was +64, when they finished with 89 points. Last year it was +65 but their tally had dropped to 86 points. When you consider that, 'not much' would be your answer.
"This is not an attack on City's quality, by any means. When everything clicks, they are a fantastic side with some wonderful players and the patchy start they have endured to this campaign should not detract from what Pellegrini has achieved over the past 12 months.
"City, though, look like a team which must be changed and refreshed if it is going to carry on moving forward. Whether they successfully defend the title or fail to contain Chelsea, Pellegrini's squad needs to be broken up."
