'Tied to a chair at gunpoint!' - Pep Guardiola roasted for strange sitting position during impassioned interview on solving Man City crisis

City are facing an uncharacteristic crisis after suffering a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium over the weekend. This marked their fifth consecutive loss across all competitions - a rare slump for the reigning Premier League champions. The defeat has left Guardiola’s side eight points behind league leaders Liverpool, raising concerns about their title defence.

Guardiola addressed the recent slump with his trademark passion, attempting to reassure fans and critics that the team’s struggles are only temporary. However, the internet was quick to latch onto an unexpected detail - his peculiar sitting posture during the interview, as he seemed to be tied to the chair.

"Me personally, I need those losses. I want to be honest. For the club, it's exceptional that happened. Exceptional," he said.

@FuadCadani said: "There’s a fine line between madman & genius… tying yourself to a chair and holding yourself hostage to enjoy your own downfall is a newww one 🤣."

@Benzizouuu added: "This is coping mechanism… he’s slowly losing it! A little bit more & he’ll wanna take a break and move to America to refresh. He’s been having it too easy here."

@ashleylyken commented: "Watch this madman steamroll the league now."

City currently sit second in the Premier League table, a testament to their strong start to the season before this unexpected slump. They will aim to halt their losing streak when they host Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday. The challenge intensifies later in the week as Guardiola’s men travel to Anfield to face Liverpool in what promises to be a crucial fixture in the title race.
