Martin Keown backs Manchester City to ‘jump out’ of bad patch
Keown, speaking on , be💦lieves Man City are in the same predicament as Arsenal were after their various unbeaten runs.
However, he pre💝dicted that the Cit𒅌izens will get out of this predicament under their “outstanding” manager.
“[Citꦕy] are not so used to losing,” said Keown, whose former team had a 49-game unbꦕeaten run in the mid-2000s.
“Because when you are winning, you❀r chest is out, you’re proud, you know, we’re unbeatable. And the🃏n when that goes, it can disappear, it can fall apart. And I think that’s where they are right now.
“So their excellence in the past has affected how they recover, 𓄧you know, because the building is like a morgue.
“It’s like no one’s used to losing. I learned this when I went to Leicester and I went t♕o Reading.
“There are players there that have had, you know, slip ups. You know, it’s almost like a major event when you lose a game. Itಞ’s an occupational hazard everywhere else𝄹. But at big clubs, it doesn’t happen.
𒊎“So I𒅌 expect them to jump out of this and they’ve got the tools to do that. Pep is an outstanding manager.”
Keown compares Man City to Arsenal Invincibles
Keown noted how difficult it🔯 is when a team is u♓sed to winning but then goes through a bad patch.
“When you are winning every week everyone on the outside loไoks and says, oh, you’re amazing,” said Keown.
✤“We had this with the Invincibles and other seasons where we went unbeaten𝓀 for a large period.
“On the inside, I remember speaking to [manager] Arsene Wenger and he was saying, ‘Look, if we lose🦂 a game, you know…’.
Man City have missed Rodri and 𒉰David Ornstein has reported that they are likely to look for a defensive midfielder in the January transfer window.
