Tottenham piled more misery on City by taking a 2-0 lead over Pep Guardiola's side at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The champions headed into the match on a four-game losing run but made a poor start, with the visitors scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes through James Maddison.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Fans were quick to point the finger at Gvardiol for the goals as the defender came in for huge criticism during the match.City supporter <a href="https://x.com/cricketjim1/status/1860380687976595911" target="_blank">@cricketjim1</a> posted on X: "Gvardiol tricked everyone by being the best player in the world for about 3 months. He’s GARBAGE A."And <a href="https://x.com/ml27___/status/1860379274148012398" target="_blank">@ml27___</a> posted: "I’m sick and tired of “Gvardiol” we’ve been hoodwinked bamboozled flat out led astray."It was a feeling shared by <a href="https://x.com/MuskCaughtAP/status/1860379053594730956" target="_blank">@MuskCaughtAP</a> who added: "Gvardiol can’t defend to save his life man."City fan <a href="https://x.com/citehdx/status/1860380998405390425" target="_blank">@citehdx</a> also had a very harsh verdict on the defender: "Gvardiol is proper f*cking useless unless he’s got it on his right foot from 20 yards out."And Gvardiol's performance was even called a "disasterclass" by <a href="https://x.com/LFC_ERYAN/status/1860381114591834391" target="_blank">@LFC_ERYAN</a>: "Gvardiol don't hide, we have seen your disasterclass this game, best [left-back] in the league by arse."

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/josko-gvardiol-speaks-out-after-sealing-man-city-move-in-gbp77m-transfer/blt9a49e317c1a5f933" target="_blank">City splashed out £77m (€90m/$98m) to land Gvardiol</a> in the summer of 2023 and he's gone on to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/josko-gvardiol-exclusive-debut-season-man-city-love-luka-modric-croatia-euro-2024/blt94deba91a2de9ea0" target="_blank">become a regular fixture in the City line-up</a>. The defender has also become known for scoring some impressive goals, and indeed has three already this season, but he's unlikely to look back on his first half against Tottenham fondly after struggling against Ange Postecoglou's side.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Saturday's game is the earliest Manchester City have been 2-0 down in a Premier League home game since December 2010 (when they went 2-0 down after 19 minutes against Everton).

DID YOU KNOW?

City have a busy week of action at home and abroad. Guardiola's side host Feyenoord next in the Champions League and then head to Anfield to take on Liverpool in the Premier League.
