Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola acknowledged his team's defensive vulnerabilities following a 4-0 loss to Tottenham. The defeat marks Man City's fifth consecutive loss, setting the stage for their upcoming match against Liverpool. James Maddison scored twice in the first half, with additional goals from Pedro Porro and others. The result has intensified pressure on the club's leadership, as former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher called for the owners to sell following a recent guilty verdict related to the club's financial misconduct. Carragher emphasized that no Premier League executive involved in the scandal should have a future in the league. The upcoming clash with Liverpool will be a key test for Guardiola's team as they aim to recover from their recent slump.
