Elling Holan feels responsible for the team's lackluster performance.

Manchester City lost to Aston Villa 1-2 in the 17th round of the 2024-25 Premier League (PL) at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, at 9:30 p.m. on the 21st (Korea time). With this, Manchester City is ranked sixth with eight wins, three draws and six losses (27 points).

With the defeat against Villa, Manchester City has won one of its last 12 games. It has lost all of its Premier League, UEFA Champions League (UCL), and English Football League Cup competitions. It has lost five consecutive EFL Cup games since the end of October against Tottenham Hotspur, and has continued to fall since then.

After the game, Pep Guardiola said, "We played a really good game today. We had good characteristics in our team step by step and we will find form soon. We have to support the players. We had a good first-half performance but we fell in the second half. Congratulations Villa. I hope you keep going. We had good moments and opportunities. We had more chances than against Manchester United, but our pressure was not enough. We struggled, we couldn't knock them down."

Major striker Holan said, "I'm disappointed and not good enough. I'm not good enough. Villa have good players and away games are always difficult. But we are Manchester City, we have to win. We have to keep going, we have to trust and we have to play hard. I am looking at myself first. I was not good enough, I did not take my chances properly. I had to do better."

Holan started the game against Villa and played full-time for 90 minutes, but it was hard to see. He had the fewest touches on the ball with 18 times. He recorded one shot, but even that missed the mark completely.

Holan is blamed for Manchester City's sluggishness. Manchester City has only scored one goal during its five consecutive losses, and recently its performance has deteriorated. Due to the small movement in the front, the number of chances taken has decreased sharply, and it is often isolated. 안전놀이터

"Be humble," Holan once told Mikel Arteta after the last match against Arsenal. Many fans criticized him for not being polite to say that to the manager, but now Holan is humble looking back on himself.
