"Pep is a fraud." Manchester City fans blasted their team following the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace
Manchester City continues to struggle to escape the slump they've been in lately. In today's Premier League match, the reigning English champions once again failed to secure a win. This time, even modest Crystal Palace proved too much for them.
Pep Guardiola's side played to a 2-2 draw in London, leaving their fans clearly dissatisfied with the result. After the match, social media comments saw supporters labeling the Spanish coach a "fraud" and comparing him to Sam Allardyce.
Others sarcastically remarked that their club had sunk to the level it was at before the arrival of wealthy owners, saying, "Without money, you're Ipswich Town."
Interestingly, despite this challenging period, fans still manage to find some optimism, taking comfort in the fact that the "Citizens" are still higher in the table than Manchester United.
Fans have also pinpointed the three main culprits for the team's struggles. As expected, Kyle Walker made the list, alongside İlkay Gündoğan and Rico Lewis. Interestingly, the young Englishman scored a goal in this match, but was later sent off with a red card in the dying moments of the game.
And finally, once again, calls for Pep Guardiola's dismissal have surfaced. After a series of disappointing results, fans seem to have forgotten that it was the Spanish coach who elevated their club to such a high level.
By the way, after this match, Manchester City retained their fourth place in the league table, but they risk falling further behind Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
