Breaking down Manchester City’s winless streak: The end of an era or a mini-crisis
The HinduAfter its 0-2 defeat at Liverpool, Manchester City has 23 points from 13 matches this season, with just seven wins. “A mini-crisis” was how pundit and former Premier League footballer Jamie Carragher described City’s situation on Sky Sports. Manchester City’s head coach Pep Guardiola puts up six fingers to remind the jeering fans of his six Premier League titles at the end of the Premier League match against Liverpool at Anfield Stadium. Erling Haaland, who catalysed City’s strong start to the season with 14 goals in nine matches, has found the net only three times in the last six. It will be hard to point to the injuries as an excuse when it also highlights Guardiola’s reluctance to dip into City’s much-vaunted Elite Development squad, which has the legacy of winning multiple Premier League 2 championships and FA Youth Cups.
