It feels somewhat ludicrous to even entertain the notion that Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are currently engulfed in a crisis.
After all, they've just taken six points from Tottenham and Wolves in the space of four days and plundered seven goals in the process.
But it's clear that something isn't quite right with the Premier League champions: Guardiola himself even admits that his side are no longer the indomitable force that they once and even went as far as to question whether or not City have the "passion, fire and hunger" required to win what would be a fifth title in six years in the wake of their subpar first-half showing against Spurs in midweek.
