Delph rules out City panic
Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph feels there won't be any panic in the squad following their shock 3-2 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.
The result left the reigning English champions trailing current Premier League leaders Liverpool by four points but, with the season still not yet at the halfway point, there is plenty of time to turn the situation around and Delph is not concerned.
"It's a massive setback but at the end of the day it's a very long season," said England international Delph. "We're not focused on Liverpool or on any team other than ourselves."
He added: "I felt we were in control for the whole game but they've scored two world-class goals, and you have to take your hat off to that - they are not goals you see every day, so fair play to them.
"We will always analyse every performance and see what we could have done better in different areas of the pitch, but with those two goals there is nothing you can do.
"We look at ourselves and we had chances. We stayed in control, stayed calm, but came up short."
City are 10/11 to win the Premier League, while Liverpool are 11/10 to be crowned champions.
