...this is really, really bad. I didn't think this years' team was capable of this kind of capitulation.
In all seriousness, even today, the mental lapses and mistakes in the defensive half could have been even more costly than they were. I don't understand where these are coming from after being so solid defensively most of the season.
And probably at least one more trophy.
Down five with a game in hand and Arsenal at home. It’s a dead heat and City are getting better with the additions of Guehi and Semenyo.
I realize this version of City isn’t the juggernaut they were 2 years ago, but they’re not going to give the league away.
Arsenal need to stop dropping points against inferior opposition or they’ll end up 2nd again.
Arteta needs to stop trying to manage second halves with one score leads and actually attack. Especially away, it just makes his players nervous and lets the opposition fans back into the game.
I also think they need to get their emotions in check. Their lows are...too low. Calm the fuck down and control the game.
It reminds me of the Cubs pre-2016. No matter how good they are capable of being, there's just this overarching feeling they're going to blow it.
And then they find a way to do so. Today they managed a 2-2 draw from an xG of 0.29 - 1.86.
