Of course there is still a huge gulf in class between us and the rest. We'll have played 4 games in 11 days and those are all against sides in the top 4 of the PL.

In the first half against United and Liverpool (2nd leg) it was the best we've played this season. Neither side could cope with us but at expected, in the 2nd half fatigue kicked in, we made mistakes and were on the end of some horrific referring decisions.

Not sure why this is being put down solely to fatigue. Yes we played well in patches but so did the rags and dippers and they punished us. You can overlook this if you wish but that imo would be unwise.
 
No. Just trying to analyse our recent poor form

Exactly.

The City players have never lost a game in their careers and they will never recover or win another game.

The lose of Fernandinho will mean Eric Dier will play like Maradona and KDB will be isolated and ineffective and Kane will score 4.

Levy and the FA have bought the ref.

The bus driver will not be able to cope with the traffic around Wembley.

City supporters will be intimated by the wave of knife crime in London. Nor will they cope with the Spurs fans middle class accents and attitudes. And the price of food and drink at Wembley will tip them over the edge.

Fucking hell. It is almost as if you want City to lose...

Ok your right if it makes you feel better no point in constructive debate.

The game against Anfield was the only fixture over the past week where I have felt we have let ourselves down. We collapsed in exactly the same manner we did in the PL and ended up with a similar result.

That said, for all of the talk about how brilliant Liverpool were in the 1st half an Anfield, we were equally as good, if not better, in the first half at the Etihad. The difference is that they got all of the big breaks with the referee which resulted in goals. Ignoring any controversial decisions like the non-award of the Sterling penalties, there is no denying that Salah's goal was offside and that Sane's should have stood. Therefore, meaning that both us and Liverpool should have been going into half time with a 2-0 lead. However, due to nothing but sheer incompetence Liverpool benefitted from a 2 goal swing.

In regards to United we played them off the park and aside from a piss poor 10 minute spell where they scored 3, we battered them. Just look at the following facts about that game and then tell me with a straight face that they are nearly at our level:

  • They had a full weeks rest and we didn't
  • It was there strongest squad available and we rested key players
  • We hit the woodwork twice
  • We should have had two stone wall penalties and they should have been down to 10 men
  • They scored 3 goals from 4 shots on target.
  • We missed 5 clear sitters
Ulitimately the only result that matters in the 2-3 scoreline. But based on the whole 90 minute performance we are streets ahead of them and we'll show it again next season.
