You must be surprised with Peps changes for tonights game. Why bring in unhappy players?People come on this forum regularly and say we played shite and the only shite is that comment.
City hardly ever play shite and certainly did not against Everton. City's standards are so hight that even, for them, below average perfromances are still good in comparison to other teams.
I think our average this season is lower than it needs to be have an outstanding trophy haul but the time when we need our best performances is still ahead of us.
Against Everton we had enough good chances to have scored more and allowed them next to nothing, unfortunately they produced one piece of quality to score and made life difficult for City by defending aggressively in large numbers and employing an unending series of spoiling tactics. Games sometimes come down to fine margins and the Everton game did.
City face what I see as an unprecedented parade of bus parkers on a level that none of our rivals face and it presents a real difficulty.
We are changing again, we have a completely different kind of centre forward in our team and Pep has little time on the training pitch to work with the players due to the compacted season and the frequency of games.
Patience in games and outside of them is a virtue.
