This is the first time under Guardiola's leadership, feeling the pressure. Manchester City are in trouble after losing four consecutive matches in all competitions. Should everything be questioned at this blue club as the injury list grows longer? Manchester City's defense is currently in a state of alarm, with Pep Guardiola forced to rely on 19-year-old center-back Jahmai Simpson-Pusey in the match against Brighton.
Five points behind title rivals Liverpool before the international break. If they do not find a solution to overcome the injury storm and regain their form soon, the Etihad team risks being left behind by Liverpool in the championship race as soon as December ends, similar to the scenario that happened in the 2019/20 season.

I was just thinking about what it would take to see Pep Guardiola getting fired! Cheesy

I have always thought that it is impossible for him to ever lose his job and I still think it is, but from a hypothetical point of view, I wonder when a club's management would decide to sack him? Cheesy

Four losses is of course not enough. He could probably lose 8 consecutive games and still wouldn't get fired. Probably 12... But it is a new situation that Pep Guardiola hasn't been in yet. This could either snowball and Manchester City is far more nervous than usually or they will soon answer with an impressive winning streak.

Very interesting question and I think Manchester City management will not sack Guardiola even if Manchester City crashes out of the EPL given the merits to the club.
But now I don't think Guardiola is to blame for City's defeats, but rather injuries to a huge number of City players and partly City's not very active transfer policy this season. Most of City's victories have come from players that Guardiola bought a few years ago.
Besides, Guardiola's contract is about to expire and maybe he himself wants to leave City for some Saudi clubs to make money.
