I am serious when I say that with respect I disagree with you. I can see why you might think this was another on the theme of becoming too predictable when we go one up and not finishing the opposition off but that's not how I see it. It's important to make the distinction between the result and the performance; the result was frustrating in the extreme but the performance was, in my opinion, very good. This was like the old days where City dominated possession and strangled the life out of the opposition. The chances kept coming, one after another but the ball simply would not go in: a bullet header from Laporte straight at the 'keeper, but the rebound evades Dias agonisingly; Haaland, first shot blocked by the 'keeper, follow up against the bar, third attempt over the bar - and he's usually not a bad finisher; then Haaland and Foden in a photocopy of the second goal at Leeds, but it ends up with Phil flat on his back with the ball rolling harmlessly away. And these were just the most glaring incidents in a match which saw us win several free headers at corners but put them narrowly off target. When I contrast this with other games we have not won after taking the lead I have to say that what hit me then was the slow build up play and the absence of chances created. We had to rely on Haaland to look like scoring, and when out possession we gave teams far too much space and allowed them to play without us putting any pressure on them or the ball. I will hazard the forecast that if we play like we did on Saturday we will win the title (and be in with a good shout of the two cups we're in.
