Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says their poor form is becoming a major concern.
City are reeling after a dismal defeat at Crystal Palace.
Kompany said: "For me, my only concern is we get back to our best form.
"I've learnt from the past seasons as well that finishing a season strongly can have an impact on your next season as well.
"I think it's our general form (not just away) that we have to improve.
"Any big team, big club, who loses a game is very disappointed, but it's part of the game that we play."
He added: "Credit to Crystal Palace but it's not one of the games I felt we should have lost.
"It has a bit of a different feel to it maybe than the result at Burnley. But a team like us needs result and today wasn't the result that we hoped for."
