Shocked Sven accuses stars of ‘giving up’ at Chelsea

MANCHESTER CITY boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has accused his players of “giving up” during Saturday’s mauling at Chelsea.

The six-goal rout at Stamford Bridge was City’s biggest loss since 1995 and the worst of Eriksson’s entire managerial career.

Although he insisted his view of the Blues squad has not changed, the Swede did see some aspects of his team’s performance he did not like, not least the fact they effectively threw in the towel once defeat was inevitable.
