Sven-Goran Eriksson has jumped to the defence of Man City defender Javier Garrido after he came to receive some criticism following the 6-0 drubbing Chelsea gave his side.
"I will defend Garrido until my death," stated Eriksson. "He is an extremely good player and a big fighter.
"He had a bad time on Saturday, especially in the second half, but he was in very good company. There were 10 others who had a really bad time as well.
"If you don't help each other out, it is very easy for a defender to become exposed. To point out one player is absolutely wrong.
"Every single person could have done better - and they all know it.
"Garrido has been fantastic. It is his first year in the Premier League but he looks as though he has been here for 10.
"He has not played a senior international for Spain yet but I am quite sure he will."
