discuss Is Manchester City Crumbling?

[MidnightMuse]

I know it is too early in the season because the teams have only played 11 games, but is Man City weaker this season than it was last season?

With their latest EPL losses to Brighton and Bournemouth in the Premier League coupled with losses to Sporting in the Champions League and Tottenham in the EFL cup, Manchester City has lost four straight games for the first time in Pep Guardiola's managerial career.

Guardiola says that the losses are due to the team's injuries, saying the team cannot cope with the current injury situation and the fast-paced fixtures. Among the injured Man City players are star players like Rodri, Rúben Dias, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, and Nathan Aké. Kevin De Bruyne, a player city relies on a lot, is not as sharp as he should be or fit enough on his return.

Given all these and the latest losses, do you think City is crumbling? Do you think they will lick up any silverware this season?

I think that the team is crumbling. Although that it may struggle but it's most unlikely not to win the EPL this season.

Guess who they are facing next? Tottenham Hotspurs. They've got a bad record against Spurs, maybe another defeat is loading?

I know City tends to shine towards the end of the season, but another loss at this stage might just do so much damage that they are unable to catch up when they need it. However, that does not mean the teams around the like Liverpool and Arsenal cannot collapse and leave the race wide open.
