Yes and no. Some games like Feyenoord home, Rags home, Brighton away have been games where City have simply lost all composure which you'd never have seen in previous seasons and which are indicative that something wasn't right from a confidence perspective.
I'm not trying to belittle City here in case folks get the wrong idea (clearly some people's backs have been put up)- I'm just highlighting it as examples of things you'd just very rarely see a City side do in previous years and which can't be levelled simply at injuries. There seemed to be something psychologically wrong with the team.
Seems City may have turned a corner now so let's see if that continues.
