It's been a tough few weeks for Manchester City, and Tuesday's 3-3 draw against visiting Feyenoord won't make things any easier for the struggling side.
The Sky Blues appared to be cruising to a much-needed victory in their Champions League contest against the Dutch club, building up a 3-0 lead in the second half. Instead, the English side endured a nightmare finish to the game as Feyenoord stormed back with three goals over the final 15 minutes, forcing the home side to share the spoils.
It was another blow to a Man City side under fire at the moment, with the Sky Blues now winless in six matches across all competitions — with the previous five games all resulting in losses.
The run of form is the poorest under manager Pep Guardiola in his near-decade at the helm, and the club set an unwanted mark on Tuesday by allowing two or more goals in a match for the sixth successive match, the longest such run since 1963.
Needless to say, Tuesday's result felt like a loss despite the fact that City walked away with a point for the first time in six games. For Guardiola, the four-time defending Premier League champions are inflicting the damage upon themselves.
"The game [on Tuesday] was fine at 3-0, playing good, but then we concede a lot goals because we were not stable," Guardiola told Amazon Prime. "We gave them the first and then the other one, that is why it was difficult.
"We lost a lot of games lately, we are fragile and of course we needed a victory, the game was good for the confidence. We were playing a good level but the first time something happened we had problems.
"I don't know if it is mental. The first goal cannot happen and the second as well. After that we forget what happen, we were desperate to win and do well, we do well but don't win games.
"The situation is what it is. We played a good game but at that level we can't give them away."
