Manchester City’s dismal form in November has led to suggestions they are approaching the end of an era, losing five games in a row before a draw with Feyenoord. The team, which has dominated the Premier League in recent years, currently sits eight points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. With a historically successful period now in question, the reliance on past success may be blinding them to the need for immediate change.
Plans to revamp the squad as early as 2025 include potential departures of key players like Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne, both of whom have been pivotal in City’s recent successes. Walker has struggled to cope defensively, and there are concerns over De Bruyne’s form due to injuries. Although Walker has a contract until the end of next season, De Bruyne’s deal expires this summer, leading to uncertainty over their futures.
Jack Grealish isn’t assumed safe either, facing scrutiny for a lack of consistent performance this season, starting only seven games across all competitions. As Manchester City re-evaluates their strategy, these players’ contributions will be scrutinized, reflecting a wider issue of establishing a competitive edge amidst a perceived stalemate in form.
Manchester City's recent performance downturn, resulting in their bottom placement in the Champions League standings, suggests a critical moment for the club. Expectations have been high following four consecutive Premier League titles, yet now tension mounts regarding player retention and squad evolution, pointing towards an urgent need for a strategic shift.
