What's Going Wrong With Manchester City?

Manchester City has not won a singular game since the 26th of October which was a 1-0 win against Southampton. It sounds unfathomable that the team who are the current champions of the world and have won the last four Premier League titles consecutively is finding it hard to even keep a 3-0 lead, as Feyenoord were able to overcome a 3-0 deficit in the UEFA Champions League to earn a point in the League Phase. Everything is going wrong for Manchester City at the moment. This leads to the question, “What is happening to Manchester City” ?

There are a number of causes that could be attributed to this poor run of form and it is highly possible that some of the issues did not start this season. Manchester City have had problems with being unable to win second balls, defensive duels and weaknesses in their pressing structure since the 2023/2024 season. The images below show how weakened the defence has been especially this season, conceding so many big chances which can easily be created from singular transitions.
