Is this forum representative of normal Manchester City fans? A loss in a dead-rubber game, with neither team having much to play for, with lots of rotation, and played two days after beating Liverpool = the whole team is terrible and massive investment is required. Plus, you're still in the...

Posted straight after he participated in a 4-0 win against the 2019 Champions League and 2020 EPL winners, but let's not let evidence get in the way of good narrative shall we.
