This is either Guardiola trying to make a point, or they have more players on the treatment table than us. I suspect Guardiola has a nasty side to him and now keeping people out the squad who he feels have been contributory to an unprecedented set of results. I must say its quite satisfying seeing a lot of Man City fans going into their shell or squirming

And yet it's still extremely strong.

Aye, imagine only having De Bruyne and Gundogan to bring on.

De Bruyne and Gundogan, although undoubtedly excellent players, are nothing like they were a couple of years ago. That bench shows that even with extraordinary funding, it's nigh on impossible to account for injuries.

Rodri, Stones, Dias, Ederson, Bobb... all injured.

Yup. Some managers really do have it tough.

They have a thousand CBs so that one doesn't hold.

Rodri is probably the main reason for their collapse.

I think De Bruyne might be off in January. Fine player whose career has been ravaged by injuries.

Pep screwed up letting them grow old together. Walker, Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan +others into their 30s. Some of the younger lads seem off their best possibly down to the Summer Euros tournament. Young lads bodies can’t take 12month football.
Loving every minute of it.

City 1 up

Man City 1-0 up.

Anyone else's picture rubbish?

Everton could pay for City's rubbish run. Better defend better than the last time in Mcr.

Aww, I feel so sorry for Pep, my heart goes out to him.

Everton equalizer.

Good goal, too.

1-1. Man City blowing it again.

Told you.

Playing pretty well, Everton.
Strange though, watching a City side these days, being merely OK.

Don't you just love a Festive Comedy.

City miss penalty

Haaland's got a face like a slapped arse and despite all his talent he comes over as a total knob.

The oil state can just give him another billion quid to sprinkle on the team (that they havent earned) and I'm sure he'll get them firing again...

Man City need a break, so 6 mins added for no real reason!

Wonder whether SD said to Guardiola:

"Look on the bright side amigo, at least you didn't have to go to Turf Moor on Boxing Day"

Wow, Man City drop yet more points. Incredible.

Not many wheels left on their wagon.

Well done Sean. Tarkowski immense.
