#PepOut remarkably starts trending with Guardiola on his worst EVER losing streak at Man City as fans all make same Erik ten Hag joke following Brighton loss

Brighton secured a comeback 2-1 win over City at the Amex on Saturday; a result that condemned manager Guardiola to a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time in his managerial career. Rival football fans then took to social media to call for the Spaniard's sacking, while joining in with a joke about him turning into former Manchester United boss Ten Hag.

@ConzoH97 posted on X: "One bald fraud in Ten Hag gets sacked and Pep Guardiola turns into the next bald fraud."

@MelvynSzn tweeted: "Pep Guardiola out we want Ten Hag," and @dr_chrisho_ put: "Guardiola slowly turning into Ten Hag."

@mgefechukwu posted: "Pep is chasing Ten Hag numbers," and @_Kagistian07 mused: "Pep hasn't been the same since they fired Erik Ten Hag."

@bdwicks commented: "#PepOut if this was a United manager the media would be all over it," and @johnnyboy001989 added: "Stay humble! #Pepout."

Guardiola will go down as one of the greatest football managers of all time but even he is human after suffering an historic fourth defeat in a row.

On that development, he said after the Brighton loss: “Well… welcome! There is always time for a first in life."

City are still second in the Premier League with this defeat but they will need to improve quickly to recapture their mojo.

City will have to sit and reflect on this defeat, which follows losses to Sporting CP, Bournemouth and Tottenham in all competitions, for a couple of weeks as they are not in Premier League action again until they face Spurs on November 23.
