City suffer a rare humiliation reserved for Premier League rivals live on radio

talksport.com, 3 December 2024, 15:53
Manchester City fans will have become accustomed to hearing 'Has anyone seen?!' digs aimed at rivals on talkSPORT.

However, the reigning Premier League champions got their own taste of Jason Cundy's iconic jibe after their winless run was extended.

City were beaten 2-0 by Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday to make it six defeats from their last seven in all competitions.

They are 11 points adrift of the Reds and fifth in the Premier League, with five consecutive league title wins now looking highly unlikely.

Pep Guardiola's side still have an abundance of world-class talent in their squad, but their ruthless side has gone AWOL as of late.

And City's sharp decline in form has presented Cundy with a rare opportunity to poke fun at City with his classic Sports Bar antics alongside co-host Jamie O'Hara.

"Rodri's Ballon d'Or, Ricky Hatton, 'Wonderwall', 'Getting sacked in the morning', Bonnies Cafe, the Manchester City stadium, can you hearrrrrrr me Pep? Your boys took one helllllll of a beating!"

City have mostly had the upper hand on Liverpool in Premier League title races but after Sunday, the roles have reversed.

Arne Slot's Reds were deserving winners, with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah strengthening their lead at the top.

Questions continue to be asked about how their out-of-sorts rivals have just suddenly dropped in form over the past month.

Liverpool fans chanted 'You're getting sacked in the morning!' at City boss Guardiola, who only recently extended his contract by two years.

He responded by holding up six fingers as a reminder of how many Premier League titles he's won - although a seventh may have to wait.

Star striker Haaland has insisted that he and his teammates are still 'believing' in themselves despite their torrid run of form.

They then meet rivals Manchester United at home, and if another defeat comes their way, then Cundy's cheeky jibe could make a swift reappearance.
