Barry Reveals City anger
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2009 6:04 pmThe players had a good mind to be shouting at each other and discussing the game. Yes we all know that game is finished now so we dont want to go into to much debate about it but we need a strong performance tommorow to put things right once more and sound out to other teams that we are contenders for a top 4 place to!

Gareth Barry has revealed a number of Manchester City stars clashed with each other in the aftermath of their defeat to Tottenham.
City slumped to their second defeat of the season after a below-par showing in the 3-0 reverse at White Hart Lane.
The defeat saw City slip down to eighth spot in the table to increase the pressure on Mark Hughes' position at Eastlands.
Barry admitted the players were unhappy with the manner of the defeat and that there some strong views exchanged in the dressing room after the game.
"There was a lot of hurt players in there and the lads were really at each other's throats," said Barry.
"It's not just the defeat, it's the way we've lost - we've lost a lot of pride. A few words were said in the dressing room and we want to put things right."
Barry insists there was nothing malicious in the dressing room disagreements and has called on City to bounce back against Sunderland this weekend.
Response-
"It's important how we react to this, the best teams bounce back straight away and we've got to try and do that," added Barry.
"We are determined to put that right. We want three points - nothing else is good enough. One of the reasons we were so disappointed with the defeat against Spurs was because they are one of the teams who are challenging us to be in the top four.
"It was a more disappointed dressing room because of the way we've lost. But there was nothing malicious, we are desperate to put things right."
