After the World Cup disappointment, can our returning players focus on winning the league?

I'd hope the bitter taste of defeat would galvanise them to ensure they don't experience it again but you never know.
 
Started thinking during the France game how an England World Cup win would affect City
I reckon the partying wold have gone on for weeks and it would have been hard for players to re-focus on their clubs for a while.

The task is now to get them back into their "rhythm"
 
Jack, Kyle and Phillips will be raring to go, the latter can deputise for an exhausted Rodri for a while. Stonesy and Phil might need a more gentle reintroduction.

Of the others, Bernie and Alvarez would benefit from a bit of time off and possibly Cancelo too - maybe his ordeal at home has caught up with him. Kev and Gundog have had a nice bit of warm weather training and should be fine.
 
Just giving it a quick thought the only city player to have a disaster was de bruyne with many being commended for good performances;

Ake - have seen some say the netherlands best player. lost on penalty and didnt take one.

Rodri & Laporte - not to blame, ever present. hopefully Laporte has stopped blubbing by now, he’s not even Spanish ffs

Bernie, Dias - slight critiscm for the morocco game, nothing major
Cancelo - dropped but i think the portugese public have marginally backlashed that he should have played against morocco

Stones, Walker, Foden - all played well. no blame there
Philips, Grealish - barely a kick, wont feel any responsibility

Alvaraz - slight surprise to be first choice perhaps whatever happens. unless he misses in a shoot out should be ok.

Akanji - played decent. scored. team got about what they expected.

Ederson - didnt play.

Gundog - scored a pen then got substituted against Japan and Germany collapsed. not his fault

KDB - shite and caused a stir. probably
not done his brand any good
 
Anyone any ideas when our boys return to training and when are city home from Abu Dhabi? Imagine gundo kev and ajanji will be back this week?
