The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
– Collapse –
City dropped just two points in their first 22 league matches this season until that unbeaten sequence was finally ended by a 4-3 defeat at Liverpool on January 14.
Despite the disappointment of losing to United, City have still only dropped 12 points all season.
In a further sign of City’s domestic domimance this season, Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sane and David Silva have all been shortlisted for the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year award.
Guardiola though is remaining cautious.

“The pundits in November, they said it was already done -– it was impossible that City, if they hadn’t lost in six months, it’s impossible for them to drop points,” he said.
“But in one week we lost three games. That happened.”
Real Madrid’s collapse in 2004 is one of the most remarkable in Spanish football history.
A side containing Ronaldo, Raul, Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Roberto Carlos and David Beckham looked on course for a treble of Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey going into March.
But after being beaten in the Copa del Rey final by Real Zaragoza, they lost seven of their final 10 league matches, and were eliminated from the Champions League in the quarter-finals by Monaco on the away goals rule.
“It’s in our hands. We don’t depend on anyone else, and that’s a good advantage,” said Guardiola.
“So we have six games. We have to win two or win one and draw two games.”
