Danny Murphy has criticized Manchester City fans as “spoiled” after they booed his team off the pitch at half time during their 4-2 win over Tottenham.

Danny Murphy says Guardiola was “right” in explaining his “rightful” behavior at the Etihad
Former Liverpool player Danny Murphy criticized City fans while speaking on talk sportsuggesting that Guardiola was ‘right’ to lie about his ‘entitled’ behaviour.
Asked about the issue by presenter Jim White, Murphy said: “You wouldn’t get that at Anfield.”
Fellow pundit Simon Jordan later added: “Okay, there’s an element where you can tell it’s the foundation of a plastic fanbase.” But I think that’s the basis of an expectation.
Murphy responded to Jordan, arguing that the city’s fans are “not plastic” but are in fact a “spoiled fanbase”.
When asked about the differences between Man City and Liverpool fans, Murphy added: “Different supporters, different mentalities, different ways of thinking.”

Murphy said Liverpool fans would not boo their players if they won four titles in five years as City
‘After winning four leagues in five. No chance (Liverpool fans would act the same way). Have you heard them boo Klopp yet? And they’re sitting on the ninth.
‘A part of them (they have a sense of entitlement) the ones who booed.’
Guardiola could not hide his anger after the game, criticizing his team and insisting that they are not even close to challenging. Man City are five points behind leaders Arsenal, who have a game to play.
“Playing with this lack of passion, this season I can announce that we are not going to win anything,” Guardiola said.
Guardiola suggested that the fans were “too comfortable” because of his four titles won in five years.
“They booed because we were losing, but not because we played badly. We play well. We were better. They booed because we were losing, but maybe it’s like our team.
“Maybe they feel too comfortable because we have won four Premier Leagues in five years.” After we score a goal they react, but that’s not the point.
‘I don’t recognize my team, they [previously] He had the passion and the desire to run. Do you think we are going to look for the gap with Arsenal the way we are playing? No way.’
Guardiola’s comments came just 24 hours after he praised the mentality of his stars and blamed himself for poor performances on selection and tactical decisions.
“I want a reaction from the whole club, from everyone,” he added. ‘We are a happy flower organization. I don’t want happy flowers. I want to beat Arsenal. Play this way and Arsenal will destroy us.
