Man City branded 'weak and frail' in brutal dig after Champions League collapse against Feyenoord
Watch now: GB News' sports round-up
Alan Shearer has taken aim at Manchester City for conceding three goals in the final 15 minutes in a devastating 3-3 draw with Feyenoord on Tuesday evening.
City are going through a spell of poor form with Saturday's loss to Tottenham their fourth defeat in a row.
A home match against Feyenoord was seen as a chance to gain some momentum ahead of their trip to Anfield this weekend.
And City looked back to their best for most of the game with Erling Haaland scoring twice either side of a goal from Ilkay Gundogan to give City a comfortable 3-0 lead.

They appeared on track to pick up all three points, but their confidence immediately dropped once Feyenoord pulled one back.
Santiago Gimenez brought Feyenoord to within one just a few minutes later before David Hancko pulled the visitors level before stoppage time.
The home crowd inside the Etihad were left stunned with Guardiola and the players dropping their heads.
It's now five games without a win for City ahead of their top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool this weekend.
And Shearer has held no punches in criticising the way in which City blew their 3-0 lead.
"Conceding the way City at the weekend and three again this weekend they look weak, they look light, they look frail," Shearer said.
"What you cannot do is give them a little bit of hope. That is what they did.
"Even with two minutes to go and 3-2 up, they take a quick free-kick.

Former City manager Stuart Pearce was similarly left in disbelief at their 15-minute collapse.
He said: "I have been in this stadium many times over the last few years and I have been wowed by what I've seen. I have been wowed by that.

"City will be taking this like a defeat."
He added: "All the things we spoke about before the match, they were all there in the second half. The high line, individual errors. That's what has lost them the lead.
"I suspect there will be one or two home truths in the dressing room."
