Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure believes that the way in which the club exited the Champions League should see Pep Guardiola come under criticism.
The Catalan coach made some peculiar decisions with his line-up and City ultimately paid the price for missing chances, going on to lose 3-1 to Lyon in their quarter-final tie.
"The manager has been signed for that: just to bring this trophy," Toure told the BBC's Football Daily podcast.
"And when you see Liverpool maybe and other clubs who [have won it] without doing a lot of work in the transfer market, it's quite strange and disappointing.
"Of course, he's been brought to the club to get a massive trophy for them and at the moment it's not been delivered in the way they want.
"Everyone knows Pep is a great manager, but at the moment when things are not going their way, sometimes it's the time to change the way they do things. We'll see."

yaya is very correct . Manchini won epl n the FA cup Pellegrini won epl n Fa cup and played the ucl semi finals in one of his 3 years reign .He was axed and city said they needed ucl and went in for pep to give them ucl glories. pep came won the league n fa cup which were all normal for city as they already had those trophies in the recent years . Mr pep went further to spend 800m in 4 seasons just win same trophies his predecessors had been winning and could never crossed the ucl quarter finals being eliminated by inferior teams to city like Monaco, spurs and lyeon .All pep did was to enjoy ball possession after lavishing 800m in just 4 seasons . Now city fans and board are so carried away with ball possession that they forgot the primary objective for pep :the UCL
