Klopp Reacts to Manchester City’s Recent Setback: “Writing Them Off Would Be the Biggest Joke”

By Score More Staff Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has dismissed the idea of writing off Manchester City in the Premier League title race, calling it "the biggest joke in the history of football." Klopp's comments come in the aftermath of Manchester City's third defeat of the season, this time against Aston Villa, leaving them in fourth place in the league table. City's recent struggles have seen them go winless in their last four Premier League games, with their latest setback coming at the hands of Villa. Leon Bailey's second-half goal secured the victory for the home side and marked their 14th consecutive home win in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola, City's manager, acknowledged his team's challenges, stating after the game that they are "struggling a bit." However, Klopp, who has f...

Premier League: Wolves 2-1 Manchester City

By Score More Molineux witnessed fire and fury as Manchester City's flawless record went up in smoke. In a tumultuous encounter, Matheus Nunes faced relentless jeering, Erling Haaland struggled to make an impact, and the reigning champions appeared surprisingly lackluster. Nunes inadvertently played into Wolves' hands, with the persistent and fierce jeering against the former Wolves midfielder Gary O'Neil adding to City's discomfort. The Brazilian midfielder was substituted at halftime, with Wolves already leading. It was a turbulent afternoon, marked by nine bookings and a post-match melee. This is precisely how you defeat a Pep Guardiola side, which looked noticeably weaker without Rodri. His absence in the upcoming match against Arsenal should be a significant concern for City. With...

Premier League: Man City 2-0 Nottingham Forest

By Score More Manchester City's scintillating form in the early stages of the season defies their usual trend of gradually finding their rhythm. This year, they've hit the ground running, resembling a team in peak form even in September, with a style of play that's almost reminiscent of their peak performance months later in the season. Nottingham Forest, their opponents, could only watch in admiration until a glimmer of hope emerged with Rodri's red card. Despite this setback, City managed to maintain control comfortably. One Forest supporter in the stands, frustrated with his team's performance, called out, "Come on Forest, work hard," but it wasn't a matter of effort for manager Steve Cooper's side. Facing an opponent that orchestrated an opening goal with an impressive 46-pass seque...

Champions League: Manchester City 3-1 Crvena Zvezda

By Score More The current European champions eagerly welcomed Crvena Zvezda to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, with the goal of launching their 2023/24 UEFA Champions League title defense with a victory against the Serbian side. However, Barak Bakhar's team also has a history of European success, having tasted glory in 1991, and they were determined to secure their first win on English soil in fifty years. Manchester City found themselves trailing for the second time in less than a week on Tuesday evening, conceding a goal just before halftime when Osman Bukari scored to give Crvena Zvezda a surprising lead at the Etihad Stadium. Bukari was played through on goal by Mirko Ivanić and remained composed when facing Ederson one-on-one. A VAR check confirmed that there was no offside. However...

Premier League: Manchester City 5-1 Fulham

By Score More Erling Haaland displayed his exceptional goal-scoring abilities by securing a mesmerizing hat-trick, while Julian Alvarez played a pivotal role in Manchester City's commanding 5-1 triumph over Fulham in the Premier League. Haaland's outstanding performance unfolded amidst a backdrop of controversy as Fulham departed the Etihad Stadium at halftime with vehement protests regarding Nathan Ake's disputed goal. Ake's goal restored City's lead after Tim Ream had swiftly countered Julian Alvarez's initial strike. Fulham passionately argued that Ake's goal should have been disallowed, citing Manuel Akanji's apparent offside position and involvement in the play. Despite these contentious moments, City, guided by Haaland's brilliance, overcame the challenges with a resolute second-...

Premier League: Rodri’s Stunning Strike Seals Epic Victory for Manchester City Against Sheffield United

However, only three of those were on target, indicating a low conversion rate in their plays. The highlight came at the 34th minute when a penalty was awarded to City due to Egan's handball in Grealish's crossing attempt. Haaland took the penalty, but h...

Manchester City Clinches Narrow Victory Over Newcastle in Premier League Battle

By Score More Manchester City suffered but still managed to win on Saturday, defeating Newcastle 1-0 in a match of the 2nd round of the Premier League. Just three days after winning the UEFA Super Cup, the cityzens delivered a less convincing performance where physical fatigue was evident. The only goal of the match came in the 30th minute. Phil Foden broke through the right wing, delivered a low cross to Julián Álvarez who had time and space to take a shot and find the back of the net for the magpies. In the second half, Newcastle increased the pressure on City's defense, but failed to create problems for Ederson. On the other hand, the cityzens had some opportunities to extend their lead, but Erling Haaland had an uninspiring night and missed three chances to score. In the end, Manch...

Manchester City Secures First UEFA Super Cup Victory in Dramatic Shootout

By Score More Manchester City won their first UEFA Super Cup after clinching the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup last season. With the match against Sevilla tied (1-1) after 90 minutes, a penalty shootout was needed to determine the winner. The citizens triumphed 5-4, with Gudelj, a former Sporting player, missing the fifth and decisive penalty.
