Currently nine shots on target in the city game with a total of 2.9xG, and yet nine goals. Just play 11 outfield players each maybe yeah?
City were a Gvardiol-clearance-off-the-line away from totally bottling a 5-1 lead. I know they're only 2 points behind us (as it stands), but I'm just not sold on them at all, especially defensively. I'm not gonna 100% write them off because they are still City and Pep is still a top manager. And I know things can change in the second half of the season. But I never saw these vulnerabilities in their 22/23 or 23/24 teams - and I think these issues are both structural and due to personnel, which won't all be solved in the Jan transfer window.
