Man City v Man United - 15 Dec 2024 Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.

"Massively [disappointed] - game was in our hands. 1-0 up we were controlling the game. We had a lot of possession. Seems to be the story at the moment I don't know what happens but we switch off and they score two goals. It keeps happening at the moment. We have to stick together now, rebuild and go again.

"We've not been used to losing this amount of games in a short period. But sometimes you have to experience this in life, you can't always win. When things go wrong they then seem to go worse. We have to stick together and regroup.

"We had control of the game 1-0 up. You can concede at 1-1 but you can't concede straight after, that's unacceptable. It's just one of those, it's the way it is.

"At the start when you lose a couple of games no, but when it happens a lot it feels like a mental thing. We need to get out of that and get back to winning ways and pick ourselves back up."
