While it seemed we might have been turning a corner this summer, recent events have steered the current situation from bad to worse.
What’s been said?
Despite missing out on the Premier League title last season, we appeared to be heading in the right direction by signing the versatile defender Nathan Ake, and the tricky winger Ferran Torres from Valencia, who made his debut last night in the Carabao Cup.
Pep Guardiola turned to the younger players as we bypassed Bournemouth 2-1 at the Etihad, with 17-year-old Liam Delap stealing the headlines for us with a well-taken goal.
