Watching the "Premier League years" on sky sports last night and it was last season...what really stood out for me was that EVERY man City goal they showed, Rodri was involved in, the key pass normally before the assist etc
When you look at there performances when they’ve won like Fulham and wolves they have looked nowhere near it this season. It’s more than just the 5 losses, they have been getting away with below par poor performances most of the season!
No excuse for city. Year after year we applauded them for their culture. For pep. No matter what players were on the pitch, they kept their identity and style. This is why year after year they’ve had great success. Also their bench/replacements are major stars. Now the fact they lost a few games we want to find an excuse because they are missing one or two players out of their dozens of 60mil plus players? This doesn’t warrant losing 4-0 and 2-1 to spurs. Or 4-1 to sporing. Losing to Bournemouth and Brighton. Not having Rodri or Diaz isn’t the reason they lost these games.
I’m a city fan and everything that Martin has said is absolutely spot on. I was there on Saturday and we are light weight in midfield, the press has gone and the defenders aren’t doing basic defending. These are city’s results last November to mid December. After drawing 3 consecutive games then losing the media reported city would not win the league. City results 23/24 period 4.11/16.12 Games played = 7 games Won = 2 Draw = 4 Loses = 1 Points = 10 points 24/25 2.11/15.12 Won = 0 Loses = 3 Drawn = 0 City have 4 games to play in the same period, judge with the points total by the 15th December to see if they are going to be in the title race or not.
At his age, a loss of confidence is a tough one to overcome for Walker. The more that doubt is rewarded with another loss, the more it grows. City have to drastically change their tactics until the bleeding stops. They should consider parking the bus and countering. This is not what the opposition are expecting from City. They'll have to open up at some point.
If not conducted for FFP, they would have 3 more squads of 11 players to win the league again. When you play fair, you have injury issues that can hamper your title.
Why's no one talking about citeh also missing Kovacic?? He's the only player in that midfield that'd put in a tackle or foul to prevent counters.. Midfield was so weak and porous yesterday it was laughable. You know you're having a terrible day when a player like maddison is dominating you physically in midfield smh
Brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant weekend. Best ever. Listen, we never get to see Smugchester lose many games so this is a fantastic period seeing City suffer for however long it lasts
They're 2nd with a 1 point cushion, id be more concerned with the 18 teams below that are that poor that city drop 11 points on the bounce and they're still 2nd
The concern is how badly were city cheating before for their previous dominance? Couple years of being closely watched cause of the 115 and theyre an ordinary team again... popeye but their spinach was oil money
@ashwilliams4959 they won the treble and their 4th in a row, you are reaching, you think that a few players out can't make a difference? Take salah of that Liverpool team and they wouldn't be top 4, they've achieved more than any club in that time, and they sit second, over clubs that's have spent more than them,
@@ashwilliams4959hahahaha how many comments you gonna add about the same subject Ash. Financial lawyer in TalkSPORT RUclips comments, who’d of thought lol what a loser 🤣🤣🤣
Am I the only one who thinks TS has gone all to pot since Laura left? Seams to have become a old boys rest home who turn up when they like, get some new blood on day time
Much ado about nothing - they're still second! If any other team were 2nd after 12 games, it'd be a great start to the season!! Wheels coming off? Crisis? Get a grip. There are 26 games left! 🤣🤣
City will bounce back, they maybe lost the passion for winning but they are capable of turning around and win a champions league with the squad they have.
City could have been three up before Spurs scored. Haarland is not putting the chances away like he has previously. He's hitting the ball well enough, it's just not quite going in. The rest of the forwards are not compensating for Haarland's dry spell. However the midfield was dreadful against Spurs, lightweight and not strong enough in the tackle. Spurs ran over them. The defence has been ramshackle for awhile. Pep doesn't do defence, his Barcelona team's started to leak goals at the end of his tenure. He likes ball playing defenders even if they lack pace.
Keown is always talking about that Arsenal team. You can't compare that Arsenal team with this City team because even though they didn't lose a game, they were not a winning machine. In fact, they dropped a lot of points that season. That team won nothing after that season😂🤦🏿
Not a city fan here the wheel falling off can easily be replaced Pep is a quality manager they are capable of winning every game until the end of the season for sure
City are finished. Haaland doesn't want to run. It's either run or score goals he can't do both like Salah. Doku and Savinho both lack that killer instinct so they overrely on Haaland. Grealish,Gundogan,Kdb are in their last season at the club and on a rapid decline. Midfield lacks intensity. Even Rodri couldnt be described as having an engine. They are just getting run over with players like Silva,Kovacic,Lewis all way too weak. Walkers personal life and age has caught up with him and he looks finished. Gvardiol is never a lb so why play him there. Stones is horrfic for club and country. Akanji turns like maguire. Dias is class but injured. Also Foden is playing his worst ever football.
These pundits lol…everyone on about Rodri no ones talks about their key defenders also being out. With this many injuries you will suffer no matter who you are…Pep best manager in the league but he can’t work miracles!
They used to have injuries and it go unnoticed cause of their 3 squads. Now they have 1 squad.. seems the 115 has turned them into a regular club again, kinda shows how badly they were cheating
Also - even though your point is completely incorrect because Martin literally said they had guys missing - this isn't an issue caused by that. Your time came and went - you were able to buy 15-20 players a year. Can't anymore. Get over it
What you talking about the only defender out is dias. They've had akanji walker stones gvardiol and ake. You telling me that's not good enough. The main problem with city is the last 2 seasons they've not signed players to improve the team apart gvardiol. Walker and de bruyne are getting old didn't get proper replacements.
😂😂😂😂Seriously? The whole squad has been flogged the past 4/5 years like no other team. City are finished as we once knew them. They just don't have the players to create the intensity needed anymore.Liverpools older players like Van Dijk and Salah are superhuman. City have a 33 year old De bruyne,a 34 year old Walker with a mess of a personal life. Liverpool have the younger hungrier squad with players perfectly suited to having the most ever games in a season. The reason i say this is practically half the team know they will be rotated. Barring Van Dijk,Trent,Ryan and Salah the rest know they will be rotated. They are fighting to improve their fitness like never before.
walker is no longer a top player. It's time up. Dias, leader of men and "chief bouncer", was not present. Rodri of course was not there to break up the Spurs attacks. Gundogan and Silva are now showing their age. Haaland and Foden are well out of form. Nunes was on the bench. He is a physical presence, fast and a great passer of the ball and should have been in midfield. I think also that guardiola should now for the time being become more defensive minded. Time and again City are being caught in possession and the opponent scores on the break. This is the first thing to fix since City cannot make this up right now by scoring more goals.
Talking about city and missing players, spurs rocked up with their second choice cb pairing and run the show
Also no Bentancur who has been first class all season
No Romero, no VDV, no Bentancur, spurs didn’t moan they just got on with it, Rodri out for city and they can’t play at all
Tell them. Moaning like bitches
If you lost you would of

Cheaters never prosper. Glad to see city's recent performances.
😂
They have done quite well since 2010, those Arabs have been cheating from the moment they came in

Simon regurgitating same old responses as usual lol the guy is stealing a living at this point smh
There’s no Talksport without Simon.
Chelsea won more points the following season when they won the league . Arsenal also lost in the domestic cups to lower league opposition .
City will bounce back, they maybe lost the passion for winning but they are capable of turning around and win a champions league with the squad they have.

It's peps barca all over again..defend well and counter them..bayern showed..they had ribery n robben..players overall are better now
It's not their top back 4. Diaz is their best central defender.
Spurs had there back up cbs playing
Keown is always talking about that Arsenal team. You can't compare that Arsenal team with this City team because even though they didn't lose a game, they were not a winning machine. In fact, they dropped a lot of points that season. That team won nothing after that season😂🤦🏿
Pep should of left while he was up , looks like the wheels are falling off
And still second. It is almost like the best player in the world is missing
Not a city fan here the wheel falling off can easily be replaced Pep is a quality manager they are capable of winning every game until the end of the season for sure

Spurs were missing their starting two centre halves you melt.

@@ashwilliams4959never had 3 squads mate, city have always had the smallest squad in the league

Injury crisis, nothing more nothing less. More important is 115
Spurs have a few injuries aswell but you're right

For me the story of the weekend was odergaard returning. He is the playmaker
Cheating mugs having thier karma long may it continue... they're a stain on PL and European football.
Mancity 😂🎉
Varcity, funny how theyve lost every game that theres been no dodgy ref or var decisions

Man City will not lose to Liverpool. I'm not overly impressed with Liverpool.
Yeah sure. They have such an impressive record at Anfield. Lmao
Liverpool have only lost to Nottingham this season and I’m in arsenal fan, Liverpool will demolish city let’s be real
Keown the 🤡
