How many days has Manchester City been the worst team in the Premier League?
The player expresses unwavering belief in the coach and the team's quality, even as results fail to reflect their efforts.
Phil Foden, a pivotal figure for Manchester City and last season's Premier League MVP, has voiced his confidence in Pep Guardiola’s project despite the team’s recent struggles. “We keep believing in the process and the coach. I’m sure if we stick to it, we’ll get back on track and regain our level,” Foden stated, emphasizing the team’s performance, which he believes hasn’t been accurately mirrored in their recent outcomes.
Statistics seem to back Foden’s optimism. Advanced analytics from Driblab and expected points models suggest Manchester City should have accumulated 14.63 points over their last 10 matches across the Premier League and Champions League. In reality, however, they have only managed five, highlighting a disconnect between their play and the actual results.
Struggles in Both Boxes: A Key to the Recent Dip
City's issues stem from struggles at both ends of the pitch. Defensive lapses have led to critical goals conceded, while inefficiency in front of goal has compounded the problem. Over the past seven matches, the team has scored just eight goals. Even Erling Haaland, typically prolific, has found the net only once in this stretch.
Despite these challenges, Foden remains optimistic. He pointed to the team’s positive attitude and their trust in Guardiola’s system as reasons to believe that they will soon turn things around.
Looking Ahead with Confidence
Manchester City remains one of the most formidable teams in Europe, and Foden is confident that sticking to their principles will eventually pay off. The squad continues to work hard to overcome their current difficulties and return to winning ways.
