Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has warned that the citizens’ Saturday’s loss to Tottenham should not be considered as a blip.
Recall that Tottenham thrashed Man City 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium. City’s current run represents the longest losing streak of Guardiola’s managerial career, and their worst since 2006 under Stuart Pearce.
Reacting after the game, Richards in a chat with Sky Sports, stated that he feels disappointed with City’s recent form in the Premier League.
“I am flabbergasted.

“Spurs were excellent. (James) Maddison was the best player on the pitch.
“From Man City’s point of view it is truly awful and I don’t say that a lot about City. They were off it, the distances weren’t correct, they were dominated in midfield, they have a lack of energy, conviction, they didn’t know how to break Spurs down.
“I thought the contract (signed by manager Pep Guardiola) would give them a lift but it wasn’t meant to be.
“It could have been a blip but it was more than that looking at that today. To be at the Etihad and not score in games like this, it’s a bad one.”
