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.
It's not that the players are losing form because they are getting older, City are going through a difficult time, probably the most difficult time since Guardiola took over City. I believe they can get out of this losing streak, but it seems to have been longer than I thought, and now we just have to wait for City to start winning because betting on them now and hoping that the crisis has passed is kind of risky, because in addition to the injuries to the players, those who are in the game are in a difficult emotional state.
A very significant decline, even far beyond my expectations. Previously I thought Man City would return to their best performance, even though Rodry was still unable to play because he was still injured. I have a very wild opinion, whether it is because the City case has resurfaced. but I know that this is just an incorrect assumption, but it crossed my mind a little. strangely enough, why doesn't Pep trust his players who are always the main staring. for example, De Bruyne, Savinho has also recovered, Doku, even Grealish. in the match against Liverpool, Pep tried to rotate some of his players in several positions, it seemed a little confusing to me personally. but what is certain is, I don't know anything that happened internally at Manchester City, especially the problems in the dressing room. apart from that, it would be very natural for a team, even an elite team, to experience its worst performance. goes up and down is something that can happen to any elite team, and currently City is in a bad trend.
