Manchester City Faces Unprecedented Struggles After Fourth Straight Premier League Loss

Pep Guardiola's side is winless in seven matches, raising questions about aging players, recruitment, and the club's long-term dominance.

Manchester City has gone seven games without a win across all competitions, including four consecutive Premier League losses, a first since 2008.
The team has conceded 19 goals during this streak and failed to score in its last two league matches, leaving them 11 points off the top of the table in fifth place.
Pep Guardiola remains optimistic, citing returning players and signs of improvement, but the squad is still missing key contributors like Rodri, Mateo Kovacic, and Oscar Bobb due to injuries.
Rúben Dias defended the team's legacy in a tense post-match interview, insisting they know how to cope with the slump, despite his own errors in recent games.
Analysts highlight aging players, poor recruitment, and the departure of young talent as contributing factors to City's current struggles, sparking comparisons to the declines of past football dynasties.
