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.
Man City is in a slump, not being able to win in 6 matches is not normal, this is an extraordinary thing that Pep Guardiola experienced. Simply put, every human being must have a hard time. But I am sure they will be able to recover quickly, they will not fall forever, it's just that I am not sure they can defend the title.
One bad season will not forget their 6 great seasons. But on the opponent's side, this is an opportunity to bring down those who have dominated the EPL in the last few seasons.
Man City's current slump, apart from losing Rodri due to injury, the opponent is also trying to pressure Man City and provoke Haaland to lose concentration and not score goals. In addition, because of the lack of defensive midfielders because too many goals are scored from fast attacks and counterattacks. Man City in the next match must make the match a moment to recover, because if they continue to lose or do not get three points, I think their glory days will soon end.
