Manchester City lost for the first time since the beginning of October. In addition, the Citizens can not win for four matches in the EPL. I'm not used to seeing the team like this, maybe they started to get tired. Especially Man City gave a lot of effort and energy last season. I hope Guardiola can find a solution that will help City to fight for the EPL title again.
It is their big problem and previously most of us thought like it's ok if Haaland has worse scoring rate than the past season but Manchester City still win matches. Now, it becomes like they have weaker attacking power with less goals from Haaland, absence of De Bruyne and other players seem to reach their limits. Worse results in last four matches are big warnings for them.
The warning is more meaningful for them when two biggest competitors, Liverpool and Arsenal are showing their power with very good results recent matches. In the last season, Manchester City fight with only Arsenal but this season, they have one more competitor, Liverpool. If they make many mistakes, either Arsenal or Liverpool will not give Manchester City enough time to correct mistakes and defend their championship.
