Rhodri missing is key, but I am thinking, maybe other teams have finally found a way to actually beat them, countering Peps tactics, finding weaknesses in the squad and taking advantage of it.

Im not buying you win 4 title in a row and the following season one injury drops it from 90+ points to 60.

Pep should have found a way to work without Rodri now it cannot all be pinned on Rodri not being there considering there squad depth

 

[eurokage]

Foden! 2 -1

 

[Loki]

Its not even like there are one or two players out of form. The whole City squad seems miles off the pace..............Even some of the big name players are just not turning up.

 

[Basill]

created a bit of luck there with that slip

flip side to that is possibly unknown to us, the players may know that they are ****** due to these charges and City will be guilty and relegated.

 

[antijoke]

This isn’t all on one player, god knows what’s going on but it’s not all because Rodri is out

 

[Droolinggimp]

Ok, take Rhodri out of the discussion, what is it then. Is it what I said, other teams have finally found a way to counter City and Pep? Or do they know they are guilty as charged and will be shoved to league 2?

Can't deny the job Emery is doing tho, credit where it's due lad

Not a bad run in Europe either

Thry look clueless going forward. Haaland isnt making any runs and they have no out ball. Villa in the last 5 mins were attacking and there was such an easy ball to Digne as he made a run, city arent doing that

 

[Irish_Tom]

Our draw against City is really starting to look like two dropped points!

Why do people keep trotting this out like the players know anything. Of course they don't, no more than they knew last year or the year before. They don't have the squad depth they had previously with the top quality to slot into the way he wants to play.

All the talk about City.

Were Villa any good?

 

[CliffyG]

They are able to spend quite a bit in the next window aren't they?

 

[Droolinggimp]

Better than city. (Only caught last 15 minutes)

 

[CliffyG]

They looked pretty good to me.

 

[Bigpig]

come on the toooonnn!!

 

[fez]

If we win tomorrow we will only be 2 points behind City.

How long before Pep walks I wonder...he's never really struck me as a manager who would hang around when the going gets tough, one of the advantages of knowing that most big clubs in the world would immediately choose to appoint you I guess.
