Pep Guardiola's position in Bayern is on eggshells, and things are no better for his City counterpart Manuel Pellegrini.

Rumors are flying high over Guardiola's possible move to the England club following Bayern's 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in Champions League semifinal's first leg and a morale-hurting 1-0 loss to Augsburg in domestic league.

Doubts have never stopped and are growing that Guardiola's soccer philosophy focusing on the possession of the ball doesn't fit into the Bavarian giants, which adopted effective counterattack tactics to stand out in fierce physique clash of Bundesliga.
