All this talk of their cup final sent me to do some researching.
With teams supposedly spunking all their energy on us, the match directly following teams 'getting a result' vs City is as follows:
(W) City 1-1 Everton (D)
(W) City 0-0 Wolves (L)
(L) Shakhtar 2-1 City (W)
(D) Leicester 1-1 City (W)
(W) Palace 0-0 City (W)
(L) Liverpool 4-3 City (W)
It might not mean anything at all, Palace won their next game and you could take any of the Top 6 and see a similar pattern. It does show we have some incredible bounce-back, but consistency of performance is one of the factors of our great season, so far. Something that is missing from all the others.
