A 2-0 defeat to Liverpool means Manchester City now have four losses in their last four Premier League games, and are winless in seven in all competitions.

Mohamed Salah was the standout performer in the game, converting a penalty in the 78th minute to add on to Cody Gakpo’s first half goal.

It was a concerning performance for Pep Guardiola’s side, and Man City could earn themselve꧑s an unwanted Premier League recoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrd with their run of four consecutve defeats being the second-worst streak a reigning PL champion has been on – only bested by Leicester City’s 2016/17 streak of fi♛ve.

Ruben Dias is confident Manchester City can turn things around

In an interview with , Manchester City defender Ruben Dias said that the loss to rivals Liverpool was “a difficult moment”, but that he “did seꩲe a lot of character and the fans behind us” – aff✅irming that fan support is “the only way we are going to [get] through it.”

Despite the poor run of form, Dias does not want fans to forget the good siꦜde of things. “This is just ꧅part of our legacy. We have won so much and still we are where we are and this happens,” the 27-year-old stated.

Dias continued, “We have been able to be versatile, adapt and keep on moving forward and thinking one🥀 game at a time… That 𝓰is what we need to get back to.”

City boss Pep Guardiola admitted to that the onus of their issues wer൲e on him. “No blaming, no running from responsibilities. I want it. Here as a club, you have to win. If you don’t win, you are in trouble,” the Spaniard lamented.

When did Manchester City’s winless streak start?

Last month’s EFL Cup fourth round defeat to Tottenham Hotspur might have seemed inconspicuous at the time, but it was ไanything but.

A 2-1 loss in the Premier League to Bournemouth was slightly more harr🌠owing, with Andoni Iraola’s side at that point sitting 12th in the league.

Continental woes were next on the card, with Arsenal target Viktor Gyökeres scoring three in Sporting’s 4-1 win over City.

Consecutive losses to Brighton away and Sp♓urs an꧒d home in the Premier League meant City had three PL defeats, and a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord in the UCL was a huge shock – the Cityzens were 3-0 up 70 minutes in to the game.
