English football pundit and former Manchester United player Gary Neville has spoken on Manchester City’s shocking defeat to Tottenham on Saturday.

Daily Sun reported that City coach Pep Guardiola suffered his fifth consecutive defeat over the weekend in the clash that saw them lose 4-nil to Tottenham.

Criticising Guardiola’s side after the encounter, Neville, while chatting with Sky Sports, said City were outplayed in every department.

“We’ve seen City lose the odd game here, but we’ve very rarely seen them outplayed in every department, but that’s what we’re watching,’ the pundit said. ‘They look well short. As short as I’ve seen them since Pep’s first season.

“I’ve not seen them as bad as this, how they’ve been in the last few weeks. He would have wanted that international break to come, thinking it would be a reset moment. But now here, it further entrenches the opinion this is a City side currently in decline.

“It seems madness when you think about what they’ve achieved. They’re easy to play against and teams are encouraged when playing them. The vulnerabilities are clear for everyone to see,” he stated.
