They concede more goals than they have scored during the match, therefore they lose the game.

In my opinion, it's obvious. It's all about DeBruyne's absence, the whole game was built around him, and City simply don't have a replacement for a playmaker of that caliber, and when he dropped out, the mechanism fell apart.

I see four possible reasons:

1. The absence of Rodri and DeBryne
2. Variance kicks in for every team at some time
3. Probably last season for Pep. Seems to me there is som fatiuge from the Spaniard.
4. Some of the English players are overrated

The World’s greatest club, Real Madrid, also has experienced sub standard performances. They have no replacement for Toni Kroos. Mbappe is not integrated, But come June they will probably - as usual -lift The Champions League trophy again.

* Rodri. De Bruyne was injured for certain part of the season last campaign aswell and it didnt even affect them :rolleyes:

Rodri = without a doubt, the team lacks a leader for me when he is not there.

Definitely offensively weaker without KDB but that said - they have quality everywhere, teams are just setting themselves up to Counter attack City more, they are happy to have 10-20% of total match possession if it results in a draw and sometimes a win.

The top teams are having a tough time this season bar Liverpool who are on fire but again they have a relatively fit and available squad.

Good afternoon. The main reason is because Rodri won´t be able to play the rest of the current season.Guardiola will miss him so much.The good thing for them is that there are still many games to play

A simple crisis happens to all teams without exception. It will pass soon
