You have to give City some credit their movement and intent as excellent. They don't become a bad side overnight and they had to have a reaction after the Everton game. We never played well but we weren't allowed to and that's down to the opposition. E
Its a point gained rather than 2 lost we got lucky but that's football
I've never said City are a "bad" side. They did play well, but a massive part of their playing well was us being so tactically inept that they were able to, and that should not be dismissed as "one of those things".
We cannot go from looking like genuine title challengers one week to relegation fodder the next. The very worst that should happen is we lose in a competent and competitive fashion, as we did at ManU and Chelsea.
I'm not saying that we have suddenly turned into a bad side either, what I'm saying is, we need to ensure that zero complacency exists, and that "shit happens" mentality is not acceptable if we are to be the team we look like we are becoming. And for what it's worth I don't think Poch is that type of person at all. I think that game will give nightmares, and was probably the worst, tactically, by him in a long time.
