Appreciate that about our team. But I honestly think City would have won if Pep had played our two best centre halfs, Dias and Akanji. As for Doku, he did make a difference, so he probably should have started. Putting Phil out wide didn’t help either. Unfortunately it was the centre half pairing of Stones and Ake that affected the back 4 in general, especially in the 1st half.
At the end of the day, and the season, City have won PL titles 4 in a row, something that has never been done before. Even though losing to United scuppered the double, double, which has never been done before, overall it’s been a great season. Not winning the PL and the FA Cup would have been a disaster. Like every City fan I’d have taken the PL title over the FA Cup all day long.
