Ahh the beautiful game that divides so many opinions. Let’s be real. City are arguably the best team in Europe to date. After 45 minutes leicester dig in and claw it back to 1-1. Sometimes in football it’s not about how well you play its about trying to keep that score in your favour. The 5-1 loss was down to a tactical misfortune. Puel takes off a centre midfielder for a right back, formation changes, albrighton becomes an almost centre midfielder that’s never played in that position and now has to do so against the likes of De Bruyne. People often compare performances to other games they’ve played or ex professionals that have played for them in the past. Every single game is different. A player might be told to have a free role and exspress themselves. Another maybe to sit in and defend. Every role is different. James has had some fantastic games over the last few weeks. 2 average games in a week does not make him a bad player. I see Puel to be making him a player to sit in and calm things down. Matty adds composure and calmness to the team and it’s something Peul enjoys. Arguably Motm against arsenal and Chelsea both away from home squashes qualms he’s not good enough in big games. Rather than slate him let’s think about the task he’s been handed before the game, get behind him and cheer him on!!
