Yes, I agree with you, if you look at the average Man City player who is superior in the match, tactics are also superior to Man City. What I'm worried about is the mentality of the players, because we know that Man City have been under pressure several times and during important matches they have lost, for example, against Real Madrid in the UCL. and something like that could happen again with Man City.
Experiencing a defeat in the UCL match against Maddrid in my opinion will not make the mentality of the ManCity players go down to fight for the EPL League title this season, especially now their focus is only on winning the EPL League after being eliminated in the UCL League so I am very sure that the ManCity players will not just gave up on being able to lift the EPL trophy and they also will not let suffer a defeat or a draw against Aston Villa in the upcoming meeting.
