    That midfield definitely provided much more protection and support than a 2 plus Cout.

    3 of them covered each other well and having 3 behind the ball rather than just 2 def made the difference. Cout was never the best defensively.

    yup.

    but you still cannot say 12 goals and 9 assists are not going to be missed ;)

    Technically we cannot miss them as they are on board. We can only miss some hypothetical goals and assists if the replacement players struggle.

    I don't think City will lose another game for the rest of the PL season, unless maybe they go all the way to several finals

    I think they will lose at least one more match. It won't necessarily be against a top 6 side. They are a very good side but they are not unbeatable.

    Hmmmm
    I am not so sure, logic and common sense would dictate you are right however we saw something at Anfield. We saw city lose their heads - think they are lucky they have Newcastle next (?) because if they had a team who would give them some stick it could get interesting.
    City have quite fairly been lauded for their performances this season. Were they to lose two games the pressure would increase, lose three (chavs and spuds say) whilst the others keep picking up points well the title race might just get interesting. Could one of the best sides ever in the prem league give us one of the most spectacular implosions ever. No way is title race on yet but they have been proven to not be invincible.

    They've lasted quite long this season. But last season they won their first 12 matches and people said they should be given the title there and then but they finished 3rd. They will of course win the title because their downturn has come (definitely will happen) too late for others. If they lose it will be the mist improbable and incredible collapse ever.

    Never know do you. Only takes 1 goal to win a game. I’d the front 3 can score at similar levels and the midfield help keeps games tighter then might win more than we did.

    Record wothout Cout is much better than wth him this season so

    Why is he not responsible? Every player is responsible for goals conceded in our game. The fact we press and everyone is expected to.

    Cout plays on the left, Willian was on the right. If Cout is back defending that space maybe he doesn’t get to run and chip it in from that angle.

    Everything is hypothetical of course but 90% ofgoals arent juat because of one person.
