"It's worrying". Shearer highlights Manchester City's main defensive problem
Manchester City are conceding goals this season at a rate they haven't under Pep Guardiola before. There's still plenty of the season left, and the numbers could get worse. Former England striker Alan Shearer has already spotted a trend in the Citizens' defense.
Details: According to Shearer, the problem lies in the defenders' interaction, particularly those playing as full-backs, regardless of who is in those positions.
Quote: "There's no arguing with that because when you look at the goals they're conceding in the Premier League, they've let in the most. They still have nine or ten matches to play. So they're going to concede even more goals. We've talked so many times this season about the lack of defense, but also the lack of help from the wing-backs, no matter who they are. It's worrying for them, I think," said Shearer on BBC.
