Gary Neville believes something 'isn't right' with Manchester City, following the side's 1-0 defeat against Spurs in the Premier League. Harry Kane's 267th goal for Spurs was enough to sink Pep Guardiola's side to their fourth Premier League defeat of the season, even after Christian Romero had been dismissed for the hosts in the game's final 10 minutes.
Despite City's best attempts throughout the 90 minutes, Antonio Conte's men hung on to claim a vital victory that leaves the current Premier League champions 5 points behind current league leaders Arsenal in second place.
Neville - speaking to Sky Sports during the contest - was quick to indicate how he felt something felt abnormal with City as of late, with influential midfielder Kevin De Bruyne forced to make an impact from the bench.

''Something isn't right at City, it just doesn't feel right at the moment,'' Nevile began. ''Whatever that is. When you watch Manchester City as often as we have, obviously Pep Guardiola knows his players better than anybody, [Bernando] Silva one of them.
''But you can't help but think that Walker, Dias, Laporte, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan and De Bruyne, that seven that I have just named with any three up front. They are just not the same at the back, they don't look the same at the back and they are not as good in midfield without those three players that I have just named.''
Fellow pundit Jamie Carragher was quick to agree, stating: ''We keep talking about Arsenal and Manchester City and there is still a long way to go, but you are almost waiting for City to kick in to be the City that we know so well.
''You just feel like this might be the season where they are not quite themselves for whatever reason, I'm sure we'll get to that. Perhaps it's the role of [Erling] Haaland.''
