Micah Richards and Gary Neville, two former Premier League players, have identified the reason why Manchester City is losing ground this year.

 

In their last three Premier League games against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur, Man City has not triumphed in any of them.

 

After playing 4–4 against Chelsea, 1–1 against Liverpool, and 3–3 against Tottenham Hotspur, the Citizens lost two of their three games against their opponents.

 

However, both Neville and Richards think that Pep Guardiola’s side are dropping points because they are suffering from complacency, and there’s “something just not right” about them this season.

The comments came after Man City were held 3-3 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

 

Speaking after the game, Neville said (via Daily Mail): “What he won’t like about Guardiola is decision, the complacency, defensive lapses and giving up points again to Tottenham.”

 

On his part, Richards said: “Something just not right, too easy to play against on counter, individual mistakes again, seeing out game at end is all about concentration. (They) have to concentrate in key moments and didn’t do that. Spurs were fantastic and found a way. Just gaps in midfield, defence, organisation at this moment in time is nonexistent.”
