It's the worst run Man City have had in 18 years. And the worst run Pep has had in his whole managerial career. It's fair to ask questions - especially when the biggest surprise to come out of this run is that City's squad doesn't seem as strong as most thought from looking at the names. On paper that team still should be getting a result today. But the backup players don't look like they can last 90 minutes.

[@Steroyd666]

I don't think I've ever seen a Pep side lose 4 in a row ever, usually when Man City loses a match they comeback the next match scoring 4 or 5 goals, so I think it's fair to ask that question to the standards of Man City in relative terms.

People need to stop saying Man City has the best squad. Sure, they may have the best 11, but not the best squad. They have one of the smallest squads in the League!! Injuries shouldn't be used as an excuse for their poor performance. It phase was always coming, since we won the treble we've been declining. I honestly do not know how we are going to survive this phase, especially with Pep's future in doubt. The players need to find their groove back and we should stop playing "safe football". Haaland makes runs and no one is giving him the ball to isolate him with the defenders in 1v1 situations and are heavily relying on him for goals.

International break comes at the perfect time for city. I think around some time during December, they'll start winning so many games in a row, when their players slowly come back from injury. Rodri is a big miss obviously and KDB should be fully fit, by the time the international break is done. I'm not ruling city out, even if this fourth defeat in a row, became a 7th defeat in a row, after the Liverpool game
