Kyle Walker faces the cameras as Man City fans tear into his performance against Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester City star Kyle Walker has spoken out after his performance against Tottenham Hotspur was criticised by fans.

The reigning champions were not at the races from start to finish as Spurs managed to record a huge win at the Etihad Stadium.

Ange Postecoglou's men came away 4-0 winners thanks to goals from Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson, plus a brace by James Maddison.

During the match, fans were left seething after a way below-par performance by Walker.

Shortly after the final whistle, the City man faced the media as he spoke to Sky Sports.

He said: "It's hard to stand here and speak about it when I haven't properly digested it yet. I've stood here when we won titles so I'll stand here for defeats too.

"This is the most frustrating thing as a defender. I don't care about scoring goals, I'm bothered about clean sheets and we're not doing that. You have to go back to the basics and get a clean sheet. If we concede four goals at home we have to score five.

"It's not just the back four, five or six - it's all 11 players on the pitch. I wouldn't say we've lost confidence together. I've spent eight years with this group. You lose confidence as a team but we have to remember what we've achieved together. What we've achieved in the past means nothing, it's history. We have one team above us doing really well."

Walker continued: "We'll keep fighting to the end as we always do. The best way to turn this round is on Tuesday. Hopefully the mojo comes back and we see the normal City from the past eight seasons.

"Your powers don't just go. We know our qualities and weakneses. You get a win, you get your confidence and we're back to how we used to feel."

When asked about next weekend's crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield, Walker added: "It's a great game to turn it around and take three points from the team who sit above you. But we can't put in a performnace like that or we'll get walked over. We have a Champions League game to prepare for that massive game on Sunday and keep within touching distance of Liverpool."
