Man City's Current Woes
Manchester City are experiencing their worst run since Pep Guardiola arrived at the club. In the seven seasons that he has been coach, he has won the Premier League six times; now after a poor run of form, Man City are 7th in the table and 12 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. In addition, there are 115 charges ready for violating the financial fair play rules. The players can no longer find each other, scoring is very difficult, and everything seems to be going wrong. The team concedes many goals and makes mistakes they never made in the past seasons.
But how can City turn this around? The team as a whole continues to support Guardiola, but they look frustrated. All criticism is responded to with previous results, the most recent example being Jack Grealish who gave the Aston Villa fans three fingers (the number of Premier League titles he has won with City).
