Manchester City is facing rough times under Pep Guardiola’s management. The team lost their fourth consecutive game, falling 2-1 to Brighton and now trailing Liverpool by five points in the Premier League. This losing streak has not been seen since 2006, long before Guardiola’s time at the club began.
Guardiola, known as one of the best coaches globally, has never faced such a losing streak in his career. While injuries have plagued City, with star players like Rodri out for the season, Guardiola remains optimistic about the team’s performance.
Despite a strong showing from City in the first half against Brighton, they faltered in the second half, leading to another defeat. Guardiola acknowledges the challenges the team faces with a congested schedule and numerous injuries.
In contrast, Liverpool continues to impress under new manager Arne Slot, with Mohamed Salah in top form. Salah’s contribution helped Liverpool secure a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, further solidifying their position at the top of the league.
Wolverhampton secured its first win of the season, lifting the team off the bottom of the standings. Southampton, on the other hand, dropped to last place upon their return to the top flight.
Fulham continued their impressive run with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, thanks to late goals from Harry Wilson. Brentford bounced back from a defeat to Fulham with a 3-2 victory over Bournemouth.
In the other game, West Ham and Everton played out a goalless draw. Despite the challenges faced by Manchester City, Guardiola remains hopeful for a turnaround in the team’s performance in the upcoming games.
