The club’s Champions League qualifying exit and a defeat to Tottenham have heightened the pressure on a depleted squad
It is not unrealistic to say Manchester City’s devastating week could derail their season only two weeks into the campaign.
Gareth Taylor’s team crashed out of Champions League qualifying to the debutants Real Madrid, conceding late in Spain to draw 1-1 before losing 1-0 at home last Wednesday. Four days later City conceded in the cruellest of ways with four minutes remaining of their Women’s Super League game against Tottenham to lose 2-1.
