Guardiola signs three negative records after another defeat

It is no longer a brand but a constant. Manchester City sets off all the alarms in relation to a complicated season if there ever was one. After securing the renewal of Pep Guardiola, the skyblues were thrashed at home against Tottenham with a 0-4 that makes noise at the Etihad. The Catalan’s men reach their fifth consecutive defeat and set three records that have not been seen for years in the Premier League. Feyenoord is coming and on Sunday, Liverpool at Anfield Road.

Manchester City had gone 742 days without losing at home in the Premier League. Brentford, 1-2 and November 12, 2022 They marked the last precedent until the Spurs’ victory at the Etihad. We speak with the 0-4 of the last hours of the biggest defeat suffered by the skyblues since they moved to the new stadium in 2003. A 1-5 for Arsenal for that season, the hardest fall so far for Tottenham. But be careful, because the numbers are still in red.

Since 2006, Manchester City had not lost 5 games in a row. Guardiola and his men equal a Stuart Pierce streak which has come back to life at the Etihad. Be careful, because the skyblues also become the first champion to be defeated during that number of consecutive matches since 1958. The United Kingdom had not seen anything like it for 68 seasons. What’s happening in the north of the Premier League?

“We started very, very well…And we couldn’t score. And then we conceded goals, and right now it’s more difficult for us emotionally. But in eight years we have never experienced this type of situation, now we have to live it, and we have to break it by winning the next games, and especially the next one…” reflections of a Guardiola who for the first time in his career reached a streak of these dimensions. Feyenoord at home in the Champions League and on Sunday visit Liverpool at Anfield, which is ahead.

City’s problems have increased since the injury of Rodri. We are talking about the engine of the team, as well as a player with whom Guardiola has won 71.1% of his matches. Without the Spaniard the numbers are clear: the Manchester team barely achieves three units at 55.5% of the occasions where his Ballon d’Or is not present on the pitch. January, a month where we will have to see if new faces arrive thinking about the end of the campaign.
