So does losing becomes very detrimental to your mentality, particularly when you're not keeping clean sheets.

They could have lost.

Another two or three goals at the weekend at Newcastle.

But for Donnarumma, who didn't play tonight, but he's been excellent.

But even he couldn't keep them in that game at the weekend.

And so, you know, if you're looking to put a run of results together, which Man City are, particularly in the Premier League, to try and hunt down Arsenal, you need something that's sort of given you some continuity and some consistency.

And they never got that tonight.

That was too many changes and just another poor defeat.

No, no, I'm just saying I was thinking back to the weekend.

I was just thinking about how Man City cover up their deficiencies.

And you could argue the weakest point of their team is the two full-backs.

Yes, Nico Reilly has done well and he's played for England.

He's a good young player.

But he's not a left-back.

Matthias Nunes is not a right-back.

So they can get exposed.

Newcastle did their homework at the weekend with Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes.

And because... And he's going to have to figure this out, Guardiola.

Because City played as narrow as they did at Newcastle and as they do, they had Cherky and Phil Foden in behind Erling Haaland.

Whenever they coughed the ball up, all Newcastle did was, as soon as they won it, they went wide.
