City of the last 7 seasons - losing 3 in a row is certainly a "crisis"
There is mitigation, some of it of our own making when it comes to squad size (and potentially age), injury wise.
I hope it's the time for one of our "team meetings" to thrash out what those who are fit can improve on!
I'm with most on here, players called up for international duty (especially European based players) should be telling managers "sorry boss I've got x/y/z wrong with me so can't play".
Pull together get through Christmas and then see if it's a genuine crisis

Clearly, Pep discouraged at 3 in a row, because he couldn’t have cared less about the result at Spurs, only the performance…to see what he could get out of the players he had available.
The PL and CL, sure, but not the Carabao Cup!
He has a few days to work on the players available and for some to get fitter, but it’s never an easy place to go and win…even though we do it…frequently!
I think he’s really looking forward to getting the players fit(ter) during the intl break, and looking forward, not backwards.
Hopefully, we can get quality reinforcements in Jan (Etchevarri?) and we ALL need to know whether he is staying or not and who the successor is if he’s not!
From there, let’s push for silverware and make CERTAIN we get Top 4!

Need this on a shirt.
“City always in crises”
Just below:
“115”
“Got away with it”
Oh the decisions…

I mean, we've had periods like this before
Most games, we're doing a lot of things right, but we're struggling to create meaningful chances and being undone defensively a bit too easily on the transition. I'd argue only in 17/18 and 18/19 did we play really well from the outset; most other seasons had a feel similar to this to an extent
I wouldn't be surprised if a few players returning to fitness and Pep figuring out a way to shore up the midfield will see us experience a dramatic turnaround
I think worst case scenario we're heading for a 19/20 season, where we also struggled with injuries

We were awful v Villa away last season and this place was in meltdown, then our next league loss was nearly a year later. Get through Brighton with at least a point and then get start firing again after the international break.

I really love this clamour for saying we're in a a crisis . I mean if this is as bad as it gets then we're on for a fantastic season
I vividly remember losing to Newcastle away and West brom at home over the years and thinking it's all over. We're 2 points off the top, still in the top 8 of the CL. If we're 3-9 points off the top by January and we make a signing or 2 we'll be absolutely sound.
Kdb and foden will run the show on Saturday!

We are not in crisis atm but with Brighton away on Saturday it’s. If going to get any better infact I’ll be astonished if we get as much as a point on Saturday but we need to hang in and hopefully get the players back from injury and also make signings in January and we could still win this title but it’s a massive talk order .
