Roy Keane has claimed that Man City had trouble performing since they went on the P *** after winning the competition last season.
The struggles of City took another hit on Tuesday evening after a late capitulation, they saw a lead throwing away against Real Madrid and suffered a 3-2 defeat at home.
The side of Pep Guardiola has shown a fragility that was previously unseen in previous seasons and have mainly struggled in large competitions – both in its own country and in Europe.
City's recent 5-1 Thrashing by Arsenal, a 4-2 defeat by PSG, a 2-1 loss by Man United and a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord all out when they think back to their big game battle during the campaign.
Now the former man United captain Keane has been torn in the side of Guardiola and the stunning claim made that their misery started after their Boozy Title celebrations last year.
Speaking in the last episode of Stick to Football, you offered by Sky Bet, said Keane: 'When Manchester City won the competition last year, and then Manchester United defeated them the week after [in the FA Cup]And they went on the p *** – which was well documented – before they were poor against Manchester United.
'Have they really performed since then? Did they play a game this year in which you thought they are still working on it? When was the last major competition they won since they won the competition? '
After being captured in dramatic fashion last season, the stars of City did not waste time to celebrate a historic fourth consecutive league title through the streets of Manchester.
The cheerfulness bounced out of the dressing room in bars and up to 5 hours in the Greek restaurant Fenix, while players took their wives and girlfriends for a Boozy Night.
Shortly thereafter, however, City suffered a 2-1 defeat by Rivals Man United in the FA Cup final -with some fans who attribute it to their Boozy parties the week before.
The heroes of the city only came from Fenix from Fenix in May, where Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne looked worse for wear.
While Keane suggested that he discovered the reasons for their struggles, Stadsverdiger Nathan Ake admitted that they are struggling to make a finger on their struggle this season.
'Giving it away (admitted twice in the last five minutes) is frustrating and difficult to take, especially since it has happened a few times this season. We have not learned from it yet, so we have to do that as soon as possible, “said Ake.
Asked why it continues to happen, Ake added: 'It's difficult. We try to find out why. They are small things and small details.
'Some games that you can get away with it, but in these games you don't get away with it because they (Real Madrid) are clearly a top team. The next one comes thick and fast, so we have to make sure that we are ready. '
And the 29-year-old admitted that it was there that the side of Carlo Ancelotti easily cut through the city, with Madrid with 20 attempts and eight on goal for 90 minutes.
'You will admit opportunities against these kinds of players. They have top players in advance, but of course we sometimes have to do better as defenders and as a team, “said Ake.
'Usually we did well to keep them out – Eddy with a few saves, a few tackles here and there. That's what we have to do again. In the end we won 2-1, but still didn't win, so that's the most important thing. “
