They are currently 5th on the table. It saddens me to see how the mighty have fallen so easily without reserve. City problem is getting longer than expected, or is it because of Rodri injury. Maybe, Rodri has been the power engine of the house and we never noticed because we felt it was De Bruyne that was playing a major role in the midfield. They need to wake up fast before it will be too late for them to cope with the point gap range by Liverpool. I believe Pep have seen it that EPL is not a club that you can dominate for too long like other leagues.
Almost no one expected Man City's condition to be like this because after dominating the Premier League in the last few seasons and performing quite consistently at the start of the season, people thought they would continue their dominance in the League. But instead, Man City are struggling to get out of the pressure after suffering six consecutive defeats so far. Rodri and Bruyne both have roles in the team and losing either of them could have a big effect on the team.
Man City are not in good shape and now there is more pressure on them going forward. Pep Guardiola seems to have lost the ability to do some evaluation after his team played so badly. It's hard to catch Liverpool because they are so consistent in all the games now and it will be a tough job for Pep Guardiola to catch them.
