Five defeats in a row for City - what's the hell is going on?

I know there'd be many City supporters who'll say it isn't a cfrisis, but after all this time. I guess teams are now finally beginning to work out how to beat City and are now realising there's no point of actually walking out on to the pitch and letting that team's aura dominate you even before you have kicked off. I listened to the last couple of minutes of the 1st half & whole of the second half & it certainly did seeem like whatever gameplan City had it just fell apart after going two goals down. All in all it was a fantastic win for Spurs.

I'm wondering now if Pep is now beginning to regret signing that contract,
Certainly does seem like all of a sudden. of one of the game's master tacticians is now suddenly starting to run out of tactics and ideas to keep City winning.

To be honest, I just wonder if the one problem is that they've been so damn used to dominating teams, that for the first they are being asked some serious questions like - can you come frome behind and beat us? That certainly was probably one question Spurs asked and City had no answer.

NOW I'm beginning to think - is there is sonmething else new going on behind the scenes we've not known about, (It can't be the charges thing, that's been rumbling around for a few years).

OR that something's been brewing in the dressing room for some time and is only starting to come to the surface. For Pep to lose the dresssing room is certainly something unusual.

^ It's called Rodri being injured. You can't expect to be the same team when your world class midfielder is missing.

West Ham's Michail Antonio is in hospital after a "horror crash" in Epping. West Ham released the following statement:
“West Ham United can confirm that Michail Antonio is in a stable condition following a road traffic accident this afternoon in the Essex area.
“Michail is conscious and communicating and is currently under close supervision at a central London hospital."

I wish Michail Antonio well. We won't have him for our clash with Wolves on Monday, which is a shame as he looks stronger and more of a threat up front than Danny Ings. Maybe Fullkrug can prove an able replacement while he's in recovery.

His Ferrari is a mess, lets hope that it's just his car in that condition.
He's currently being treated for a suspected broken leg.
