"Playing against them is easy." Experts find the reason for Man City's failures
Something incredible is happening in the English Premier League. Manchester City has now lost three consecutive matches, and when you add their slip-ups in the Champions League and League Cup, the total number of disappointing games is five.
After the humiliating defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, Sky Sports pundits criticized Guardiola's men. According to Jamie Redknapp, City lacks a leader on the field.
"Playing against Manchester City is too easy. Everyone will talk about Rodri because of his influence, but it's not just him. There's Kovacic, Ruben Dias, who is the leader in the defensive line, and De Bruyne is injury-prone. Since Alvarez's departure, they clearly lack depth in the squad."
Gary Neville seems to have found the main culprit. The former Manchester United defender joined fans in criticizing Kyle Walker.
"My goodness. You don't see this often, but over the last couple of weeks, we've seen it several times. Vinícius Júnior, Mbappé… Walker dealt with all of them, but now he looks like the weak link."
After today's match, City remains in second place, but their gap to Liverpool is now significant.
