2 out 3 ain't bad (and in touching distance of the summit)... and we're in all the cups still.
A shock defeat is what we might need, to bounce back and really push on
I could be wrong but I just feel that one of the characteristics of this City team is that after either a good result against a top side or after a very good run of wins is that we start thinking we can just turn up and win regardless, that's what I felt after the Stoke game.
I remember last season when we started the season very well and we had just beat United 4-1 at home, we then go and play Bayern at home setting up to go all out 4-4-2 style and we got one of the biggest demolitions the Champions League has arguably ever seen between two top sides.
I got the feeling again when we played Chelsea in the league at home in February after an incredible run in December and January and many people were saying we were the best team in Europe etc.. Then Chelsea do a job on us and we crumbled a little with a bad performance against Barcelona and Norwich away.
We do need that shock result to wake us up every once in a while I feel.
