Going life and death against mediocre teams isn’t the hallmark of champions, nor is wildly over celebrating what should be routine victories on a regular basis.

It all adds to their mental fatigue and that will cost them in May

Rice spoke well after the game, one game at a time and learning from last year etc. But what they displayed post game was the same over the top hysteria.

It comes from a manager incapable of being a calm and level headed figure for the players.

At a time when we are dropping points late on, it's fucking frustrating seeing them continue to snatch late goals to win games. 9pts this season now. Whereas we have dropped 7pts from late goals in the past 6-7 games. Quite a swing that.

I’ve looked at their fixtures and it could get tricky for them hopefully Jan-feb. I’d still be keeping tabs on Liverpool with their run in.
 
We'll come short this season in the traditional trophies but win the Super Cup and Club World Cup. We had a terrible transfer window and terrible luck with KDB injury. We’re not getting the rub of the green and our rivals are. The premier league have already made it clear we won’t win 4 in a row and Arsenal or Liverpool will take the title this season. Madrid or Bayern will win the champions league. If we were to win the title this season from here it would be Peps greatest achievement to date. We are already 6 points behind Arsenal and 8 behind Liverpool after they win tonight

We understand your stance now mate, after the threads you've started on the topic, as well as you posting the above into this thread as well as the Villa pre match thread.

Rather than just repeating yourself, why not just wait to see how it pans out.
 
I do think the constant erosion of the squad is finally starting to cause major issues.

The squad year upon year has been getting smaller and whilst last season we were very fortunate with injuries, this year we haven't been.

I do think both Pep and Txiki needed to be a little more flexible and increase the level and quality in the squad. It's particularly weird that you run such a small squad when you don't actually trust certain players in it i.e Phillips and Gomez.

When you add to that your signings haven't really hit the ground running, your best midfielder is out and you opt for a midfield with ball carriers and a number nine playing in midfield then it's no surprise City don't look themselves.

I think the eye was taken off the ball this summer and it's understandable, but you can't ever afford to stand still and I think the quality of the squad has gone backwards as of now.

Mad for City, not for maths.
