Manchester City's recent decline highlights a tactical crisis, with an ageing squad and underperformance across key players. With 13 defeats in their last 26 matches, the team heads into their match against Liverpool as underdogs. Coach Pep Guardiola has acknowledged the need to evolve from historic tactical standards, indicating that modern football requires a departure from traditional possession-based play. This raises questions about the future of his 'Pepification' philosophy, especially as teams like Liverpool succeed through a balance of control and less chaotic play.
After a midweek mauling in Madrid, Manchester City now finds itself as underdogs against Liverpool, having suffered 13 defeats in 26 matches across competitions.
City's problems stem from a deep-rooted tactical issue that Pep Guardiola has recognized; he emphasizes the need to adapt to modern football's shifting dynamics.
