Former Manchester City winger Trevor Sinclair has claimed that the Premier League champions' failure to click as a team is affecting their title chances.
Manuel Pellegrini's charges lost 1-0 to relegation-threatened Burnley on Saturday to fall five points behind leaders Chelsea.
Sinclair told BBC Sport: "For me the biggest thing is playing 4-4-2, they are trying to get striker Wilfried Bony in the team - square pegs in round holes and it is not working.
"You look at the leaders in the team - there is always something going on with Yaya Toure."
Man City could slip to 11 points behind Chelsea if the Blues win their two games in hand.
