The Manchester City debacle has caught everyone off guard. Well, to everyone… no.
The dimension of the crisis was difficult to predict: they have nine defeats and two draws in the last 12 games. However, Michael Owen saw ‘cracks’ in the ‘sky blue’ project… before the season began. Specifically, on August 16.

“Manchester City will suffer to finish in the ‘top 4’ this season,” predicted the former Real Madrid and Liverpool player. A premonition that has gone viral after Owen retweeted it adding a ‘playful’ face.
“Arsenal and Manchester City will be practically among the top four in everyone’s predictions…”, began the former footballer’s prediction to ‘Football365’.
“I think this year City could stumble”
“I’m going to bet first on Arsenal, second on Liverpool, third on Aston Villa and fourth on Manchester City,” Owen continued before explaining his prediction in detail.

“The title is in the hands of Manchester City, but I think that this year they could stumble. They have stepped very hard when they have needed to and last year they had an incredible run, but at some point they will fall short,” said the former Ballon Gold in 2001.
THE Manchester City coach analyzed the poor run of results since the Ballon d’Or injury from a curious comparison.
“In addition, they have a pending investigation and Pep Guardiola is not going to be there forever. This could be his last season,” added Owen, who sees how City has sunk to seventh position in the Premier League, 12 points behind Liverpool, who have one game less.
