Rico Lewis and Erling Haaland sent honest messages after Manchester City lost at Aston Villa, while Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish reacted differently.
The time for talking in the Manchester City dressing room is over, says Rico Lewis , as their dire run continued at Aston Villa.
At Aston Villa we heard from two new voices with Lewis joining Haaland in media duties post-match. As grumbles grow online over which particular captains are stepping up to talk , it was actually refreshing to hear from two of the younger members of the squad who have carried the team through their struggles.
"Nobody is going on to the pitch saying 'I'm not doing that', or 'I don't want to win'. It's difficult right now but we have to stick together." "Everyone in world football concedes a goal but because we hold ourselves to such high standards, when we concede we're so disappointed in ourselves, that's when you'll see more mistakes come.
Kyle Walker, the under-fire captain from all quarters, was the first player to turn back from the away end and head back to the dressing room, and the first back on the team coach after the game. He's not playing well, and doesn't look to be enjoying his job at the moment. Maybe that's how he deals with a result like this, and he shouldn't be criticised for catching up with old colleagues. It was a big day for the Grealish family.
