Blue Moon Podcast - A Manchester City Show

In a Blue Moon Podcast first, Sam Roscoe and Typical City's Dan Burke link up with the American Cityzens podcast team, Josh Webb-Thomson and Grey Papke, to discuss Manchester City's week. A 4-0 loss at Everton is analysed, as the panel try to work out how City can improve and just what's causing the defensive issues - is the just the goalkeeper or are there other issues at play. Ex-City goalkeeper Nicky Weaver chats to Sam about Claudio Bravo and how he can improve his game, while David Mooney visits Elliott Fernandez and his mum Beverley, as they try to raise the £100,000 they need to get the former City ball-boy to Germany for treatment on a very rare form of cancer. We look ahead to the visit of Tottenham and try to work out how Pep Guardiola's side can stop Spurs in their tracks - if it's at all possible. We also discuss Kelechi Iheanacho, Gabriel Jesus, and players from the youth set-up.

It's never a quiet week in the life of Manchester City - and David Mooney is joined by Richard Burns from Yahoo Sports and Sam Lee from Goal to work out what on earth has been going on at City.

Howard Hockin is revolutionising the FA Cup, while we squeeze in thoughts on the anti-doping charge City are facing and Bacary Sagna's ban for his Instagram post. Not one to be missed!

It's been an interesting week for Manchester City - and Sam Roscoe has enlisted the help of ESPN's Jonathan Smith and our very own Howard Hockin to pick the bones out of everything that's happened. It's been a tough time for Pep Guardiola, who was clearly grumpy after the win over Burnley and the loss to Liverpool - the panel work out why and go through the talking points of those games. Is there a discipline problem at the club with the seventh suspension of the season with Fernandinho's third red card in six games? We try to get to the bottom of the naughty behaviour.
