'Donnarumma - he needs a little pressure'

Manchester City fans have questioned Gianluigi Donnarumma's performances in goal following the club's third-consecutive Premier League defeat, with one supporter calling for the goalkeeper to be dropped.

City suffered a 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest, with former academy striker Liam Delap scoring twice against his old club. The result left Pep Guardiola's side six points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester on whether Enzo Maresca has got his team selection right at City, former midfielder Jim Whitley and City fans Ciaran and Mark discussed the club's recent struggles.

Ciaran said: "The only way Donnarumma is going to get back to his best, for me, is by sitting on the bench and realising he's not been good enough.

"He needs a kick up the backside, basically. He has proper dropped his standards. He wasn't at fault on Saturday, but he has been in the last three or four games."

Jim Whitley added: "There comes a point where if your senior players aren't producing, you're going to have to change it. You're right in Donnarumma, he needs a little pressure and that he can't just sit there and be number one."
