'Fragile, frail & weak' - Man City's defensive woes continue

Man City's draw against Feyenoord was the first time a side managed by Pep Guardiola failed to win Man City's draw against Feyenoord was the first time a side managed by Pep Guardiola failed to win

Manchester City squandered a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League, raising concerns about their defensive fragility. Despite Erling Haaland's goal putting them firmly ahead,

City conceded three times in the final 30 minutes, extending their run of conceding two or more goals to six consecutive matches— a first since 1963.

The collapse, which saw boos at full-time, leaves Pep Guardiola's side winless in six matches across all competitions. Former England captain Alan Shearer criticized City as "weak, light, and frail," questioning their game management after they failed to close out the match.

The result casts a shadow over their Premier League clash against title rivals Liverpool, with City’s defensive vulnerabilities now a growing concern for Guardiola.
