I don’t think Pep Guardiola or Manchester City supporters were prepared for this drastic drop in performance. I believe Manchester City will bounce back from this. I laugh at anyone who says Pep should be sacked because City is doing as well as they normally would. People forget the times before Pep arrived at Manchester City. How many trophies have Manchester City won before Pep came into the picture? City should be grateful that they are champions because of Pep and they shouldn’t delude themselves into thinking that they could have achieved the same results with another manager.
Finally Manchester City can be ranked fifth in the standings. Indeed, there are still many matches available and Pep Gaurdiola will rearrange his tactics. As for the trophy, it is certain that this season Manchester City is difficult to defend. Manchester City remains a great club but this decline indicates that Manchester City players are losing confidence. Remember Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne, Walker, Akanji, Axe, Covacic, and Bernando Silva will undergo a decline in form as they age.
In the past, the club that always dominated the league every year, so it is not surprising to see the conditions experienced by Man City this season, being in second place in the Premier League standings does not mean they are weak, but this condition often occurs in big clubs, we can take Real Madrid for example, just like what happened to Man City this season, in this slump phase there must be a reason from some of their mainstay players who are not in their best form, so it is only natural that the defeat experienced by Man City in the last few weeks has had a bad impact in the eyes of everyone, especially fans who do not like Man City.
