Joe Royle once referred to Cityitis, the ability to shoot ourselves in the foot. Another word often used was unpredictable and that lasted into the Mancini reign, who could not be unpredictable with Balotelli in the side.
Now in year 2 of the Pep regime journalists and commentators have maxed out with superlatives to describe our play, way OTT in my view, and unpredictability was kicked out the door with the long unbeaten run.
But now we have a blip and words like flakey are creeping in. I think Pep will sort this out in the summer and hopefully there will be a little more steel to go with the silver.
In terms of vocabulary, hope we are still showered with praise next year but there is another word I would like to see now and then. TenaCITY.
Any thoughts ?
