Manchester City's senior stars called for an emergency meeting

Manchester City's senior players, including Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Rodri, and Bernardo Silva, held crisis talks to address the team's poor form. The meeting was organized to ensure that no one played the "victim card" or made excuses for the recent run of results.

Concerns addressed in a frank discussion

The captains wanted to address the team's performance and encourage each player to take responsibility. The meeting took place in good faith, with all players given the opportunity to express their concerns.

Focus on improving individual performances

The players acknowledged that they were not playing poorly but were not getting the desired results. They discussed the need to defend better and analyze why they were conceding goals. The team emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards and not letting excuses or injuries affect their performance.

Positive outcome expected

Similar crisis talks in 2021 led to a 21-match winning streak and a Premier League title for Manchester City. The team hopes that this meeting will have a similar positive impact on their performance.

Potential climb up the Premier League table

Manchester City is currently in fourth place in the Premier League table. A victory against Newcastle on Saturday would see them move up to second place, just two points behind leaders Liverpool.
