Man City Fans Call for Star Player to Be Sold After Juventus Defeat

• Manchester City fans are united in calling for the sale of a player following their disappointing Champions League defeat to Juventus
• The loss has intensified criticism of the team’s defensive performances, with one player shouldering much of the blame
• Pep Guardiola is overseeing the worst run since he arrived at the club, with his club winning once in the last nine matches

Manchester City fans have expressed frustration with Kyle Walker, demanding the defender's departure following the team's poor run of form, which continued with a 2-0 loss to Juventus in the Champions League.

City had shown glimpses of their dominance with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest and a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace in the preceding week.

However, their performance in Turin left much to be desired, with second-half goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie putting City’s hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stages in jeopardy, per the BBC.

Despite dominating possession for large portions of the game, Pep Guardiola's men struggled in the final third and displayed defensive frailties once again.

Captain Kyle Walker came under heavy scrutiny, particularly for his role in Juventus' opening goal.

Man City fans want Walker out

Walker was slow to react to the cross that led to Vlahovic’s header, which narrowly crossed the line after Ederson had initially denied Federico Gatti.

This was the latest in a series of unconvincing performances from the 33-year-old right-back, whose errors have proven costly on multiple occasions this season.

Disgruntled fans took to social media to vent their frustrations, with many calling for Walker to be sold.
