Guardiola’s Manchester City team are beaten and end up in the garden

Happiness didn’t last long Pep Guardiola since he renewed a few days ago with Manchester City. With hopes of him spending at least another year in England, his return from the international break was an intensification of the same hell that had paused a few weeks ago.

And he did it in front of his men at the Etihad Stadium, this time losing by four field goals. Tottenham who walked past him while the townspeople’s weapons looked like they were light years away from being as deadly as they were last season.

“They’re going to fire you in the morning!” – Spurs fans sang to Guardiola this Saturday, and the result became even more stunning. 0-4 to seal fifth defeat in a rowsomething that hasn’t happened since 2006.

Rodri is gone, gone, and they miss the Spaniard more than ever. He was applauded on the pitch with his Ballon d’Or prize, minutes before the double center formed by Rico Lewis and Ilkay Gundogan (Mateo Kovacic would be out injured for a month) was picked by a Tottenham team that had already eliminated the Citizens. from the Cup. this League season.

Longer and longer shadow

And City started well, with two chances that Haaland should not have missed. Both are in front of the goalkeeper. The Norwegian’s mistakes gave way to show Madisonthe bet of Ange Postecoglou, who left Brennan Johnson on the bench to go for the Englishman.

Dejan Kulusevski, the star of the match, stole the wallet from a timid Guardiola and played a fantastic pass to the far post, where Maddison came in and tapped in inside. Maddison’s passage and arrival were unjustified.

Seven minutes later, not even twenty minutes later, Maddison appeared again. This time he must pass the ball to Heung-Min Son in the box and the South Korean will drag the two, leaving a clear lane for the Englishman to remain unmarked, receive the ball and flick it over Ederson.

City’s warning was already real, and Guardiola would have given a one-year extension to be able to bring on Rodri, despairing in the stands, at that moment.

Guardiola is out of ideas and more moved than ever

But instead of making a scandalous comeback, City got worse in the second half because, given the space, time and safety on the scoreboard, Tottenham are much more dangerous.

If this also coincides with the fact that Kulusevski, transferred from the forward position to the inside position, is sweet, the stadium will have to be closed.

The Swede started the game 0-3 at home, eluding two players and leaving Son with a long search for Dominic Solanke. The former Bournemouth man held onto the ball until Pedro Porro joined the attack and the Spaniard fired a missile to silence an Etihad Stadium stunned by his side’s shipwreck. Johnson extended the win in the final minute, setting up Kyle Walker, who couldn’t keep up with Timo Werner, the scorer of the assist.

Since October 26, this City have lost five games played: Tottenham Hotspur (x2), Sporting, Bournemouth and Brighton. They haven’t had that many losses in a row since 2006. Then the number increased to six. Their record was the seven they tied in 1963.

If they beat Southampton this Sunday, Liverpool will be eight points clear of City.. In the entire history of the Premier, only four times has he returned to greater distances. Five leagues in a row is starting to seem like a utopia.
