Manchester City have been in the worst run of form in recent years. After winning the Premier League in dominant fashion for the past several years, Man City seem to have gone in a slumber and are not able to win any matches let alone dominate their opponents. The brunt of the pressure is on Pep Guardiola who seems to be down in the dumps with Manchester City’s failing form. The Man City manager opened up on his team’s poor form after Manchester City lost again in a 2-1 hammering by Aston Villa.
