Everything Man City players stood for has 'completely evaporated'

Manchester City players are "shadows" of what they have been under Pep Guradiola, says fan Emily Brobyn.
City's poor recent form has gone from bad to worse after a late 2-1 derby defeat at home by rivals Manchester United.
The result means Pep Guardiola's side have won just once in their past 11 games.
"We are just used to it now, as City fans. We let Manchester United come to the Etihad and dictate play. We showed far too much respect," Brobyn told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.
"But, it was a really poor standard of a derby. They must have thought Christmas had come early at the end. We gift wrapped the game - we handed it to them on an absolute plate.
"The perplexing thing for a lot of fans right now is we have celebrated these players throughout the years. Only last season we were celebrating them winning four in a row and we have been through so much with these players, but now we are looking at them and they are complete shadows of where they were.
"Everything they stood for as players in the game is completely evaporated. The press they used to have, the way they would chase down lost possession all the time. Everything they used to stand for as a Pep team has completely disappeared.
"We are in a really tricky situation that nobody could have foreseen but we have to just ride it and hope we get to the other side."
