The pundit was particularly critical of the team&#8217;s defensive structure and their inability to take the game to City despite Foden being sent to the dressing room early in the match.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:start\">&#8220;You lost the game because Fernandes didn\u2019t turn up, [Matheus] Cunha didn\u2019t turn up, [Bryan] Mbeumo didn\u2019t turn up,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;[Diogo] Dalot was horrendous at right-back, [Patrick] Dorgu is not a left-back. You lost the game because when you went up a man, for 70 minutes, you decided to sit back. You decided not go to go for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:start\">&#8220;How can Manchester City be the better team with 10 men? You lost the game for different reasons.
