"The Animal Sanctuary" - new Bluemoon Podcast online now

David Mooney is joined by Howard Hockin and Alex Porter to discuss a disappointing week for the Blues

After a disappointing end to Manchester City's run of crucial games, David Mooney is joined by Howard Hockin and, from the Manchester Evening News, Alex Porter - to discuss where it went wrong for Pep Guardiola's side at both Arsenal and Chelsea. Do the Blues have a soft underbelly in the big games and why do they find taking chances so difficult? The defence is analysed too, as it becomes clearer that there are deep problems in that arena, with Jesus Navas starting at right back. We analyse where Vincent Kompany's future might lie as he came through 90 minutes for the first time in a couple of months, while BBC Sport's Will Perry discusses the shape of City's season so far. We look ahead to a now crucial tie with Hull and we also discuss whether or not City fans expected too much of Guardiola from when he joined the club.
