      CBS Sports pundit Peter Schmeichel not given Man City clash to cover after controversial rant about former club

      by

      PETER SCHMEICHEL covered Celtic instead of Manchester City – following a controversial rant about his old club’s support.CBS Sports sent the former keeper to see Borussia Dortmund thump the Scottish champions 7-1 in Germany – rather than watch City triumph 4-0 at Slovan Bratislava.Peter Schmeichel this time gave his views on CelticCredit: GettyThe Dane’s unexpected destination for Tuesday’s Champions League action follows a blistering verdict on a “dead” Etihad atmosphere in the 0-0 draw against Inter Milan last month.It did give him the chance to see son Kasper in goal for Celtic – but the 60-year-old might have flinched as Dortmund were 5-1 up by half-time.Schmeichel Senior retired as a player in 2003 after a single season with City, following a career dominated by eight years at Manchester United.So it was perhaps no wonder his outburst ruffled feathers – although no specific reason has been given for him missing out on the Bratislava feast. READ MORE IN FOOTBALLSchmeichel responded to the September 18 Etihad stalemate in front of 50,922 spectators by telling CBS: “I love good football and I like excitement from the crowd but it was dead – the Etihad today was absolutely dead.”He added: “The only people we could hear were the Inter supporters, who were quite good, but there was no atmosphere in the Etihad.”Normally, you’d think ‘well big European night’, but it didn’t happen for them.”Schmeichel wasn’t much more impressed with City themselves that night.Most read in Champions LeagueFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSThe ex-Aston Villa stopper said: “I don’t think it was a good draw.”I thought it was a really, really boring game and I’m sorry to say that.Watch awkward moment for Micah Richards as Jamie Carragher tells Peter Schmeichel ‘secret role’ he had in son’s career”I thought Inter did really well in stopping Man City.”Some fans thought Schmeichel was too harsh, especially as many regular followers struggle to afford tickets amid a wider cost of living crisis.And this time he saw Celtic become the first British team to let in five goals before the break in a European match since 1997-98.That was when Cwmbran Town exited the Cup Winners’ Cup 12-2 on aggregate against Progresul Bucharest.

      Thierry Henry and Micah Richards pinpoint Erling Haaland’s biggest flaw that ‘Harry Kane can do’ on CBS Sports coverage

      by

      THIERRY HENRY and Micah Richards have pinpointed Erling Haaland’s biggest flaw that “Harry Kane can do.”The pair were both on CBS Sports last night to bring coverage of the latest Champions League matches.Erling Haaland’s Man City performance against Inter Milan was analysed on CBS SportsCredit: RexThierry Henry pointed out the one thing Haaland needs to improve onCredit: X formerly Twitter / @CBSSportsGolazoAfter seeing Aston Villa and Liverpool win their fixtures, City went up against Italian champs Inter Milan looking to start their campaign with victory.But Simone Inzaghi’s men dropped deep and their back five helped grind out a 0-0 draw.Haaland barely had a sniff as City struggled to create chances.And he also failed to drop deep in an attempt to get on the ball.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHaaland’s lack of involvement was a major talking point at full-time as the CBS studio dissected his performance.Former Arsenal striker Henry questioned whether Haaland needs to improve his link-up play, insisting the Norwegian goal machine is unable to carve out opportunities like England captain Harry Kane.Ex-Man City star Richards echoed Henry’s sentiments.But he also insisted that it’s not an aspect of the beautiful game Haaland needs to be overly concerned about, having already netted nine goals this season.Most read in Champions LeagueFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSHenry started the debate by saying: “Can he drop and get the ball?”Richards fired back: “It’s not his game.”Man City star reveals kit issue which led to ‘awkward blunder’Micah Richards defended Haaland’s lack of build-up playBut Henry was undeterred and continued: “I know it’s not but do you think he can drop, get the ball and make things happen?”Richards answered: “Not as well as we’d like to see him, but I do believe his all-round game this season has improved.”Henry noted: “Can he go in the middle and play like Kane can do? Right now? No.“I think he can improve, but right now he can’t do that.”City boss Pep Guardiola defended Haaland’s performance, saying: “There were six players around him, three behind, three in front.“That makes it difficult for any player. We tried to use the spaces, that is why Gundogan had a couple of chances.“We knew Inter would play like that. Credit to them. We created a couple of really clear opportunities but we didn’t score.”What will happen to Man City?MAN CITY are favourites to win the Premier League title yet again – but there is one elephant in the room that threatens to put the skids under the Etihad giants.Sunsport’s MARTIN LIPTON discusses what the next few months could hold with Head of Sport SHAUN CUSTIS….Custis: So the big question – will there be a resolution this season?Lipton: Yes…. probably! We know the case will start to be dealt with in October or November.It will take at least a month to go through the evidence. So I suspect around March, April time, we will get a result. But that’s where it starts to get tricky.Custis: Why is that?Lipton: If the result is in City’s favour, that’s the end of the matter. They will be cleared. They will have no punishment to face.But if City are found guilty, these will be the heaviest penalties ever imposed by the Premier League.I suspect if they are found guilty, they will be expelled from the league or given a massive points deduction and a huge fine so that they’re not in the Premier League next season.Check out the full discussion on Man City’s future.
