Imagine if 3 or 4 months ago they had told you that the Manchester City would have won one match in their last 13 from October 30 onwards.
Nobody, almost certainly, would have believed it and instead it is pure reality.
Yet another non-victory of the season.
This time he thought about it l’Everton Of Sean Dyche which brought a point to Liverpool thanks to a 1-1 draw on Boxing Day at the Etihad.
Premier, another stop for Manchester City: 1-1 against Everton
It's difficult to just read or say it but Manchester City no longer knows how to win. One win in the last 9 Premier League games and 4 draws, 2 defeats and one win in December. The audience of Manchester he's fed up and he made it very clear at the end of the match after the draw with Everton: whistles and groans that only a few months ago seemed like utopia. The Citizens are struggling and many have noticed it, Guardiola first of all. On one of the actions that City built against Everton in the first half, when the score was already 1-0, Bernardo Silva from a good position he kicked to the side with his left and the Spanish coach was desperate knowing that the details – in a moment like this – make the difference.
A few minutes later, in fact, not even on purpose did Everton score 1-1 I'm going. The action was rather basic but City's fragility at this moment is evident. Cross from the right, ball that crosses the entire area and Ndiaye stops and beats Ortega with his right foot. The ease with which the Citizens concede goals is now alarming: 28 goals conceded in the last 13 matches played. Numbers from a club that plays to save itself and instead we are talking about Manchester City who won the Champions League in 2023. To make the situation worse, when Guardiola's team was pushing to find the opening goal in the second half, the penalty missed by Haaland. The Norwegian allowed himself to be hypnotized by Pickford and from his big tongue and the Toffees then also had several counterattacks to win the match. However, City managed to take home (at least) one point which – given how the match was going – is gold.
City, end of 2024 nightmare
Now we need a turning point as soon as the team Guardiola risks slipping even to tenth place together with Fulham and Brighton who are playing against Chelsea and Brentford respectively.
The renewal of the Spanish coach seemed to be a shock and instead the dark period of Manchester It seems far from finished. 2025 – therefore – will necessarily have to be different otherwise City could write one of the darkest pages in its recent history.
