I think you are being a little unfair on Spurs here Zealand. To say City shouldn't be losing to Spurs is a bit short sighted. City have struggled against Spurs for years now. In the last 11 PL meetings between the side, City have only won 3 games, 2 draws, and 6 Spurs wins. Not to mention Spurs having already knocked them out the cup this season. Spurs are the top scorers in the PL. They struggle against teams they are expected to beat, but turn up against the "bigger" teams, hammering both Manchester clubs, and Villa in the PL this season so far.
@@Drigallski well, not really. Utd on paper, are a bigger club than Spurs. They've spent more money on transfer over the last 5 years, have won more trophies over the last 5 years, and have a much higher wage bill. As poor as Utd have been this season - and they've been really poor - they have only lost 4 games out of 18 in all competitions. They've drawn too many, but they don't lose often. Of their 4 defeats, two have been narrow defeats away from home by a single goal. Their two home defeats were thumpings by Spurs, and high-flying Liverpool - both 0-3 defeats. As poor as Utd's entire 2024 has been, they've only lost 4 home PL games. Last season they lost to Arsenal and Fulham - both by a single goal. Old Trafford is a tough place to visit and get a win in the league. Chelsea for instance haven't won any of their last 12 visits to Old Trafford in the PL - including seasons when they've lifted the title. When Utd lose at home in the PL, it tends to be by a single goal. They have been drawing far too many games, but haven't been getting battered too often. Spurs and Liverpool have both battered them this season.
I've been saying this the entire time. Guardiola hasn't changed anything yet. I'm kind of shocked he hasn't. He's still trying to play the high line, high pressing high possession, break down teams type of football with an out of form Foden and an injured KDB, so they have no attack. Then, Rodri, Dias, Stones, are all out injured so they get hit hard on the break. If you look at City's previous seasons, you'll notice that Man City has always struggled to keep clean sheets, but Rodri and the rest of the defense were able to keep most dangerous breaks from becoming goals. Now that they are gone, and the attack is out of form, it's really obvious how bad the team looks.
why are you surprised? Pep is known to be very stubborn. Remember his first season at city? He started well then got figured out and it took him a long time to admit flaws in his system and make a change.
@@kk7324 As a Barca fan, I don't think Guardiola is that good of a coach. Like sure he is a good one, but over his entire time he always went to the clubs with the best toys and was able to get expected results. He doesn't compare to say Alonso, Schmit or Hürzeler who managed to not only get the best out of their players but they also had to work around big weaknesses in their teams to be able to compete at a higher level. The likes of Ivan Jovanovic that got APOEL Nikosia to a CL quarterfinals stand leagues above someone like Pep who never really had to manage an average team.
@@yannicklarafunez4768the reason pep goes to top clubs it’s because he is the best. yes he has flaws- he’s too stubborn, but he has revolutionised the way an entire generation plays football. who else does that?
@@edwardbrewis9040 Arguably he only marginally modified the way Cruyff coached, Rijkaard did present a break of Cruyff's style and Guardiola mere picked up where Johan left of. Guardiola as I said is a good coach, but I don't think he is the revolutionary people make him out to be, I view Ragnick, Cruyff or Rehhagel as bigger innovators and imo Pep is extremely overrated.
I'm a Liverpool fan and I'd say most of the Liverpool fanbase aren't blowing our trumpets yet (for obvious reasons) we know better than to celebrate too early, even if we've known we have been the 2nd best team in England
Im a Celtic bhoy who has a soft spot for man utd due to family in England and city and the glorious downfall this season is like a dream come true, I don't mind Liverpool winning as they win fair n square and not through the financial doping that city depends on HH up the CELTS 🍀💚✊
If Rodri was fine but Haaland injured, they would be having a different kind of crisis: drawing every match! That team has only one goal outlet. Bad idea not getting a striker.
This City fall off feels like there was a dressing room mutiny over the League Cup exit and Guardiola is struggling to control it. At least that's how it would be in FM.
doku, grealish, savinho, de bruyne, foden, silva, gundogon, nunes. 8 players. 2 goals. this is why city have been crap. darwin nunez has 2 goals. liverpools back up striker has the same number of goals as 8 of citys best attackers.
Silva and Gundogan have dropped the face off the earth. Some of the other you mentioned have been injured or coming back from it. But you got a point. Feels like Haaland and Gvardiol are the only people scoring!
My headcanon / conspiracy theory about this is that City is throwing a few games to make the case to the public that Rodri deserved the Ballon d'or by looking like shite without him...
As a city fan i think depth is the biggest cause for this. Like, Haaland practically has to play a full 90 minutes of every single game we play, because we straight up dont have a second striker. Imagine if Halland got injured, not even at the same time as rodri, just by himself. We'd be completely fucked. Its kinda the same in other positions too, though to a less extreme degree. Its just the first time pep's been punsihed for having so little backup
Yeah, your team's depth has shrunk this season. Selling Alvarez is - in my opinion - one of the key reasons behind your struggles. Haaland is a great finisher, but poor attacker. He doesn't link up play at all so the likes of Foden or KDB take all that responsibility. This means when KDB is injured, and Foden is out of form, then Haaland won't score. But when Alvarez was in the side, he offered so much more variety. He could play through the middle, or drop into a 10 role, or play on either flank. He had a solid delivery from set pieces, and was a key player last season. Selling him without bringing in a replacement was ridiculous. Selling him at all was ridiculous. He's a world cup winning attacker that could walk into any team in the world.
I think you've touched on City's biggest problem, which is they rely too much on Haaland. Not just in terms of goals, but if you compare the last two seasons to this season, he wasn't always the focal point of the attack. Now, City are predictable. Before, anyone having the ball was dangerous, now Foden's misfiring, Gundogan has come back without legs, Doku and Grealish have no end product and without KDB it's utterly aimless. The long shots thing was a temporary fix, but the reason they're not super common in the modern game is because they're easy to stop. Haaland isn't performing super well, and part of that has to do with how easy it is to marginalise him. Also it's not just depth, the players they've brought in over the last few seasons are really struggling to find any kind of place in the structure, especially the ones with more pace and/or flair or all of the Rodri replacement hopefuls who are nowhere near up to the task.
It's sad for a Spurs fan that winning 4-0 over the champions are focused on by all the media as City lost, Rodri missing etc. Spurs had both central defenders out with injury and still outclassed City. They are aiming for winning titles and just a few slips away from fighting for the top spot now.
Bruh I ain’t City fan but you serious? Spurs are the biggest bottlers next to Arsenal and winning against washed City wouldn’t bring you tittles because you’re losing to teams like Ipswich.
It's always Tottenham ABSOLUTELY DUNKING on Man City , tottenham fans should make a tifo saying : "Why always me?" Balotelli throwaway.... They started the Man City downfall , Are they the ones to end it too?
I'd say Manchester City have been so dominant under Pep that they could lose 3 Premier League games, be 9 points behind, and it wouldn't matter because they'll go on an unbeaten run from January onwards and win the league anyway. I still stand by that statement.
Yeah because Pep is a footballing cancer. It’s like the last World Cup when everyone was making mountains out of molehills with regards to Saudi Arabia beating Argentina.
@@josebatxu32 they won the league in 2019 without him and with a worse team overall against a liverpool that got 97 points i cant see why the wouldnt be able to win this time again
Mid City you mean fr fr no cap Fair play to Brighton so far into the season. Did not expect this. Did they begin to fear the FFP by not exploding the wallet in the summer on a midfield and some defensive upgrades. Also Rodri, he really kept it together Probably plenty of issues to address here but wow they’ve run out of the WD-40 for this machine.

As a neutral, I love how Ange’s teams play. Win or lose, Spurs are almost always fun to watch. It’s refreshing to see a team attack with such ferocity and freedom for 90 minutes.
Unfortunately they play Feyenord midweek, because we could have been looking at a potential 5 striaight L's because they're off to Anfield next weekend.
@@iliasVoolgaris it's already 5 straight losses mate. Spurs, Bournemouth, Sporting, Brighton, then Spurs again. They might get a result against Feyenord, but maybe not, Feyenord won't fear City and will play attacking against them. This could (hopefully) see City rattled and on the ropes again. If they lose midweek in the CL, then they will definitely lose again next weekend at Anfield to make it 7 defeats in a row
The deciding factor isn't gonna be man city struggling now... the deciding factor is whether teams in the hunt right now will actually capitalize on man city struggling... this is the perfect time for teams like Liverpool and Arsenal to pounce but will they take advantage before man city inevitably regain form when the games really start to matter more... we've seen this time and time again where Man City has struggled and teams still couldn't put them away...
@@braxton9192 Liverpool seem to be taking full advantage. 8 clear and +11 better goal difference than Man Shitty. A win at Anfield next GW and it's 11 clear, and an even better goal difference. "before man city inevitably regain form when the games really start to matter more" - eh, what? You think these 3 straight PL losses don't matter? These defeats absolutely matter just as much as any other matches across the season - perhaps even moreso. It's the manner of the defeats that's important. They got hammered at home by Spurs, after already losing 4 games in a row. If they lost a 5th game in a row but we're unlucky in defeat having played well, it's wouldn't be so bad. But they didn't play well, they were awful. There should've been a response, but there wasn't. City have been humbled - ironically the demise began after the least humble footballer in the PL uttered the phrase "stay humble" to Arteta after the 2-2 draw with Arsenal. The reason City are losing these games isn't because Rodri is missing, it's because teams no longer fear City. This season, City only plays 1 way when attacking - get the ball to Haaland and he'll score. In previous seasons, City were so dangerous because their goals came from anywhere (Alvarez was a huge part of this imo, they were bonkers to sell him without signing a replacement). Now, all you need to do is limit the supply to 1 single player, and their goal scoring threat is massively nullified. Haaland is a poor attacker, he's a good finisher, but a poor attacker. He can't hold the ball up, he doesn't link up play, he doesn't make runs into the channels, he doesn't press. There's also a severe lack of desire from the entire team. Whether that's complacency, or that they've lost faith in Pep, it's clear to see. The most recent example of this is Spurs' 3rd goal. As they break forward, only the city back 4 actually tracks back to defend. As the ball goes across to Solanke, you have 3 spurs players busting a gut making sprints from their own half to offer Solanke an option. All 3 of the players sprinted past the Man City midfield who simply walked or slowly jogged back - with absolutely no desire to sprint back and cut off the passes to the arriving Porro and co. Watch the replay of that third goal and you'll see what I mean - absolutely no desire from the team to prevent that goal. "We've seen this time and time again where Man City has struggled and teams still couldn't put them away". Okay, how's that relevant? Because currently, teams ARE putting them away. They got humiliated by Spurs, humiliated by Sporting, even Bournemouth humiliated them and could've won by more. These aren't just games Man City are failing to win, it's 5 games in row, that they've deserved to lose, and HAVE LOST. This has never happened under Pep at city, or at any other team he's managed. He's never lost 5 games in a row at any club. He's never lost 3 PL games in a row. Yet here we are, a 5th defeat in a row - and the heaviest margin and most pathetic performance of the run so far. We've not seen "this time and time again", we've never seen anything like this. To put this into context, this is the first time the reigning champions of the English top flight, have lost 5 games in a row in all competitions since Chelsea in 1959. In the last 65 years, no reigning champions have suffered 5 defeats in a row. Unless you are +70 years old, you've never seen the likes of this even once, never mind "time and time again". City's squad is weaker this season than last season, while something is wrong with the majority of the player's mentality and desire. If they lose at Anfield next weekend, I can't see them challenging for the title this season.
Too easy. Can force the players to stay even if they demand to leave, at least for one season. Then, with City's five-star academy rating, their under-18s would walk League One. May only have any issues one you hit the Championship.
@JeSuisRene Im sure it's 7 times with pep and a few more times when they had other managers prior pep .......still, were their bogey team cus the amount of times we've beat them, they must fear us a lot more than we fear them.
Zealand, I think you're really underrating Spurs. It's easy to look at the Ipswich loss and say they're useless, but isn't that exactly what you said not to do with City (look at the results and say "they're dreadful" rather than the underlying numbers)? Spurs' underlying numbers are ridiculously positive
You shouod do a recap of the MLS playoffs so far cause of the upsets. Like Seattle beat lafc last night we are so back. The team of Seattle homegorows beats the retired French national team.
Don't City usually do those though? Not this bad I agree but. City usually have a weird patch. I mean last season in league, they went into a period where they only won ONE game in SIX games. 22/23 season a period where they only won 2 in 5 in league. 20/21 season where they won two in seven league games. Which you can say that it's been time coming. Knowing City, they'll recover, and be back to normal.
Yes but if they lose to Liverpool it’ll be over.11 points behind and Liverpool look unstoppable.Plus the only team city comfortably beat was Ipswich and even against them they conceded.They look old,slow and tired.
As a city fan… our back line is bad this year and our midfield isn’t much better. The cornerstones of our team have gotten old and are a step slower than the rest. The new era gonna have to come in and learn how to win.
As a very jaded Liverpool fan, despite this being the first time theyve lost so many in a row. I still reckon theyll bounce back and win the league at a canter
I didn't appreciate how good Rodri was for City until seeing them try to play without him. They're being cut through their own press now and watching the others try defend is a mess. Also Foden is playing like the guy who stunk up for England at Euro 2024.
You are completely wrong about how Spurs win and lose. They are a great counter attacking team so they play well against the better teams that attack like Man City. Ipswich bunkered and Spurs struggle unless they score first
I know this won’t happen but it’d be great for mankind if Man City continues losing and then have Haaland get injured for a few months (it’s not like Haaland getting injured would necessarily be a bad thing, he doesn’t play for England nor does he play for a proper side like Brighton or Bournemouth or Ipswich) come February so they have no strike force. Like nobody cares about Man City, nobody likes them in the slightest. This is as the English National Team would say pure “schadenfreude.”
Am so overreacting in thinking this is the end of Mam City as a top club? They need a massive rebuild and Pep won’t be there for that and unlike say a Liverpool or Man Utd, don’t have the stature to go through a slump yet still remain an attractive club
When Spurs do anything good they never get respect or praise they deserve. Spurs beat City in the LC the media said: "It was a spirited effort by a young City team." The average ages of the teams City: 26 Spurs 23 No praise or respect.
Fair play to Brighton so far into the season. Did not expect this. Did they begin to fear the FFP by not exploding the wallet in the summer on a midfield and some defensive upgrades. Also Rodri, he really kept it together Probably plenty of issues to address here but wow they’ve run out of the WD-40 for this machine.

These defeats absolutely matter just as much as any other matches across the season - perhaps even moreso. It's the manner of the defeats that's important. They got hammered at home by Spurs, after already losing 4 games in a row. If they lost a 5th game in a row but we're unlucky in defeat having played well, it's wouldn't be so bad. But they didn't play well, they were awful. There should've been a response, but there wasn't.
City have been humbled - ironically the demise began after the least humble footballer in the PL uttered the phrase "stay humble" to Arteta after the 2-2 draw with Arsenal. The reason City are losing these games isn't because Rodri is missing, it's because teams no longer fear City.
This season, City only plays 1 way when attacking - get the ball to Haaland and he'll score. In previous seasons, City were so dangerous because their goals came from anywhere (Alvarez was a huge part of this imo, they were bonkers to sell him without signing a replacement). Now, all you need to do is limit the supply to 1 single player, and their goal scoring threat is massively nullified. Haaland is a poor attacker, he's a good finisher, but a poor attacker. He can't hold the ball up, he doesn't link up play, he doesn't make runs into the channels, he doesn't press.
There's also a severe lack of desire from the entire team. Whether that's complacency, or that they've lost faith in Pep, it's clear to see. The most recent example of this is Spurs' 3rd goal. As they break forward, only the city back 4 actually tracks back to defend. As the ball goes across to Solanke, you have 3 spurs players busting a gut making sprints from their own half to offer Solanke an option. All 3 of the players sprinted past the Man City midfield who simply walked or slowly jogged back - with absolutely no desire to sprint back and cut off the passes to the arriving Porro and co. Watch the replay of that third goal and you'll see what I mean - absolutely no desire from the team to prevent that goal.
"We've seen this time and time again where Man City has struggled and teams still couldn't put them away". Okay, how's that relevant? Because currently, teams ARE putting them away. They got humiliated by Spurs, humiliated by Sporting, even Bournemouth humiliated them and could've won by more. These aren't just games Man City are failing to win, it's 5 games in row, that they've deserved to lose, and HAVE LOST.
This has never happened under Pep at city, or at any other team he's managed. He's never lost 5 games in a row at any club. He's never lost 3 PL games in a row. Yet here we are, a 5th defeat in a row - and the heaviest margin and most pathetic performance of the run so far.
We've not seen "this time and time again", we've never seen anything like this. To put this into context, this is the first time the reigning champions of the English top flight, have lost 5 games in a row in all competitions since Chelsea in 1959. In the last 65 years, no reigning champions have suffered 5 defeats in a row. Unless you are +70 years old, you've never seen the likes of this even once, never mind "time and time again".
City's squad is weaker this season than last season, while something is wrong with the majority of the player's mentality and desire. If they lose at Anfield next weekend, I can't see them challenging for the title this season.
Zealand's new save? Take man city from league 2 back to the top. With a transfer ban.
Too easy. Can force the players to stay even if they demand to leave, at least for one season. Then, with City's five-star academy rating, their under-18s would walk League One.
May only have any issues one you hit the Championship.
I wanna see Brighton finish above Man City this season! Let's go! 😂
What makes Manchester City's woes even better is the amount of goals that they're letting in!!
When I was a kid, we said City stood for Conference In Two/Three Years. The conference was the name of the National League at the time.
Come on, give us Yids some love will ya, cus thats the 7th time Spurs have beaten peps city in all comps!!
It’s the 9th time, no?
@JeSuisRene Im sure it's 7 times with pep and a few more times when they had other managers prior pep .......still, were their bogey team cus the amount of times we've beat them, they must fear us a lot more than we fear them.
Zealand should do a save my fm save parody for this man city team!
Zealand, I think you're really underrating Spurs. It's easy to look at the Ipswich loss and say they're useless, but isn't that exactly what you said not to do with City (look at the results and say "they're dreadful" rather than the underlying numbers)? Spurs' underlying numbers are ridiculously positive
City not winning in 6 games. Ok Everton - 10pts.
Just call them Manchester 115 , everybody else does..
You shouod do a recap of the MLS playoffs so far cause of the upsets. Like Seattle beat lafc last night we are so back. The team of Seattle homegorows beats the retired French national team.
At 1:07, what is this website Zealand is using for the standings?
Flashscore
I think it's flash score
Zealand looking like Ted Lasso hasn't shaved for a couple of weeks.
0:01 bro is starting his villain arc
You are totally underrating a spurs team who are 7-0 away to Manc teams tis seasons and our form against city
What conceding to Timo Werner does to a mf
Werner has his to best Moments in the last 2 years against City its so funny
Double check Zealand. Spurs have beaten City even with Rodri
Don't City usually do those though? Not this bad I agree but. City usually have a weird patch. I mean last season in league, they went into a period where they only won ONE game in SIX games. 22/23 season a period where they only won 2 in 5 in league. 20/21 season where they won two in seven league games. Which you can say that it's been time coming. Knowing City, they'll recover, and be back to normal.
Yes but if they lose to Liverpool it’ll be over.11 points behind and Liverpool look unstoppable.Plus the only team city comfortably beat was Ipswich and even against them they conceded.They look old,slow and tired.
As a city fan… our back line is bad this year and our midfield isn’t much better. The cornerstones of our team have gotten old and are a step slower than the rest. The new era gonna have to come in and learn how to win.
City will adapt, they always do. Pep be in his room and saying "I understand it now"
I played City in my Tottenham save the day after this match and battered them 5-0... FM is very realistic
As a very jaded Liverpool fan, despite this being the first time theyve lost so many in a row.
I still reckon theyll bounce back and win the league at a canter
Fulham has higher expected points this season than ManCity, let that sink in
I didn't appreciate how good Rodri was for City until seeing them try to play without him. They're being cut through their own press now and watching the others try defend is a mess. Also Foden is playing like the guy who stunk up for England at Euro 2024.
That laugh was perfect wtf!
Oh! Where da cat at?! 😮
The Running Downfall Is Insane
0:01 jumpscare
You are completely wrong about how Spurs win and lose. They are a great counter attacking team so they play well against the better teams that attack like Man City. Ipswich bunkered and Spurs struggle unless they score first
Just a advice for zealandism bro turn off the main light in your room and just use background light i think its gonna be more funny and atmoshpherical
9:00 Kane?
THAT LAUGH IS TERRIFYING HOLY SHIT
It's insane but excepted look at Barcelona, FC Bayern and Manchester City under Guardiola.
how much Pep relies heavily on DM that can playmake and play super attacking with wide defenders no wonder they lost this matches
LOSING TO MID TABLE BOTTLEHAM IS PEAK
YOU DON'T RECOVER IN A SEASON AFTER LOSING TO TOTTENHAM LIKE THAT
Apparently Pep forgot how he won matches before Rodri.
Messi
He's always had a top-class DM, and relied a lot on them for defensive shape/solidity
I know this won’t happen but it’d be great for mankind if Man City continues losing and then have Haaland get injured for a few months (it’s not like Haaland getting injured would necessarily be a bad thing, he doesn’t play for England nor does he play for a proper side like Brighton or Bournemouth or Ipswich) come February so they have no strike force. Like nobody cares about Man City, nobody likes them in the slightest. This is as the English National Team would say pure “schadenfreude.”
Honestly I'm enjoying things while they last, because they're likely not gonna last much longer
Man City being in a pit. For the first time.
ttip killed the depth of the man city squad
Bit unfair to Spurs. Their two idiot matches against Ipswich and Brighton should’ve put them a point behind City for second
Note: If Feyenoord wins on Tuesday, City will have picked up 0 points in the entire month of November across all competitions.
What zero Rodri does to a mf team😭😭
Am so overreacting in thinking this is the end of Mam City as a top club?
They need a massive rebuild and Pep won’t be there for that and unlike say a Liverpool or Man Utd, don’t have the stature to go through a slump yet still remain an attractive club
Bro looks like Ted Lasso
Werner dunked on man city, you just love to see it
When Spurs do anything good they never get respect or praise they deserve.
Spurs beat City in the LC the media said: "It was a spirited effort by a young City team."
The average ages of the teams
City: 26
Spurs 23
No praise or respect.
And long may it continue
I’m not watching a city game till January this is unbearable 😂
Guess the sports gods thought if the premier league/fa wasn't gonna sack up and punish them then they'd do it for them.
Buddy you should’ve waited just a couple more days. This Man City team is outdoing themselves.
Stay humble eh.
Hey Zealand, haaland told me to tell you to stay humble
Having actually been at the Bournemouth City game I would in fact say that Bournemouth outplayed them lol
TMZ presents the downfall of city
Please let them lose one more game, i want chelsea to be ahead of city for at least one game
So how much have you run today Zealand?
Hmm? From the bread to the cupboard with the Nutella?
NOT ENOUGH
It's already over. As of 11/27 they are on their way up after only giving up three goals and winning apoint against Feyenoord.
Maybe u can talk about how competitive Serie A instead.. top 5 separated by a point
Waiting for EA to patch this.
Never in my life I got 5 stright loses in my 25 years of FM careers😂 most of the time is hattrick.
Fair play to Brighton so far into the season. Did not expect this.
Did they begin to fear the FFP by not exploding the wallet in the summer on a midfield and some defensive upgrades.
Also Rodri, he really kept it together
Probably plenty of issues to address here but wow they’ve run out of the WD-40 for this machine.
Nice now we are going to see them smash 12 goals against feyenoord next tuesday.
Blablabla🤣🤣🤣
I would've save scummed if this was FM
CONMEBOL qualifiers??
City will spend £200m in January and then go on a 20 match winning run as always and then win the league again 🙄
We've got no money, everyone wants to leave, and we haven't played anyone. We'll still win the league. YNWA.
Why is your form guide backwards? Is that an American thing? In England it's WWLLL not LLLWW
It may get worse mate if Manchester City are punished.
San marino have more wins in November than city....
Pet Gravioli.
