Overall they are decent but excluding the 4 goal game, it’s 4 goals in 18 games and all but two have been starts.

Don’t think you can really compare our spending alongside Southampton, they were +€160m last season compared to our +€60m. Ipswich also had a lot more room to manoeuvre with a squad that was built in League 1 with the exception of €5m worth of signings in the Championship. Plus we have the Cooper termination to factor in and associated staff.

Maybe it was the season at Seville

Can’t imagine Vardy having witnessed it first hand would not have said anything

Pep said post match, due to injuries his team and the festive period his team wasn’t set up to press and had no energy. We don’t normally have this much time on the ball, which benefits our players.

Players from lower down, that we will probably need next season

Man City, didn’t care about pressing so basically made us look better. First time less than 50 percent possession this season

Tough few games but 1 goal scored and 12 conceded, we really need to start picking up points off teams near the bottom

The bar has dropped so far that we are now happy with looking like scoring and playing better against a team struggling for 10 games.

New years wish some goals to be scored and stop conceding so many

Choudary offering more as a winger

No pressure on these game

By hitting the post and conceding 2 goals?

They were on a run of 1 win in 9 in the league, let’s not get it confused with a normal Man City visit.

Prefer Okoli to be playing

No pressure in this game, Man City expected to win even on a run of form of 1 win 9. The true tests will be against the teams we are expected/hoping to get points against like wolves etc

Facu and Bilal developing a nice understanding

Man City resurgence levels toping up nicely

Too passive should get at them early why their confidence is down

Or maybe he watched just one game of his rancid performances live and decided enough was enough

Waffles a lot

Also top flight goals only, is a fairer assessment. 9 in 59 is more comparable with recent players

Col left the building?

Could something be in the pipeline were he is sold early January to facilitate a punt on players

I guess a season in the champ and not really doing much will do that to your self belief. His career has been on the downturn for a while.
