Man City stars 'throw objects and row' as top players make decision on crisis meeting

Manchester City players reportedly threw objects around the dressing room in anger during a heated discussion after their draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola’s side looked set to claim their first victory in five matches but were denied by a stunning comeback from their Dutch opponents, who left it late to salvage a hard-earned point.

A brace from Erling Haaland and a goal from Ilkay Gundogan put the hosts in control before Feyenoord battled back. Anis Hadj-Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko found the net to complete an impressive turnaround and leave City shell-shocked.

Tempers flared in the dressing room after the final whistle as City players reflected on their dramatic collapse, according to the Daily Mail.

It is said that objects were thrown in frustration, with players calling out individuals and units as they discussed what went wrong.

The mood in the City camp at the moment is described as ‘solemn’, with the reigning Premier League champions on a wretched run of six games without a win in all competitions.

However, the report adds that a senior leadership group consisting of Kyle Walker, Ilkay Gundogan, Ruben Dias, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva have agreed that a crisis meeting is not yet needed.

Things will not get any easier for City in their next match against league leaders Liverpool and it remains to be seen if Guardiola will be able to turn the tide.

The Spaniard signed a new deal at the Etihad Stadium earlier this month but speaking ahead of the trip to Anfield, he suggested that he could still pay with his job if results fail to improve.

“I don’t want to stay in the place if I feel like I’m a problem,” said Guardiola. “I don’t want to stay here just because the contract is there. My chairman knows it.

“I said to him: ‘Give me the chance to try to come back’, and especially when everybody comes back [from injury] and see what happens. After, if I’m not able to do it, we have to change because, of course, [the previous] nine years are dead.

“More than ever I ask to my hierarchy, give me the chance. Will it be easy for me now? No. I have the feeling that still I have a job to do and I want to do it.”
