Manchester City of late have been dropping points so easy, and with three clubs already above them and in good form, I honestly think this title is slowly slipping away from them...and today's game was one awkward match as City was fully in control of the game and from nowhere Crystal Palace got a goal back and pressure turned against them.. only for Palace to steal a valuable point in the end thanks to a late penalty Cry

..

And for gamblers/punters I honestly feel their pain as this was a steal looking at the price on a City win which was less than 1.2 odds against the draw which was ~8odds, honestly you can't even explain this...City need to pull up their socks and not having Halaand isn't an excuse!!!!

Honestly a defending champion for that matter dropping valuable points both home and away wouldn't help their bid to defend the title, worst of it Man City only won one out of six of their last matches this is absolutely incredible for a big spender in term of players signings, though it's too early to decide the likely champion however dropping points would increase the gap in term of points between them and the league leader, I also commend Crystal Palace for their brilliant comeback right in Etihad stadium even with their own bad record of winning one out of their last ten matches.

Manchester City's consistency in the last few games has been a bit compromised and I think this will continue to be the case at least until their schedule eases up because after all now is the hardest for some of the big clubs in the EPL who have several competitions and are faced with a tight schedule in the EPL for the month of December which is famous for their boxing day.

In today match they could only draw even though victory was in sight. but it is still a little better than not getting any points at all.
Manchester City's problem is still quite the same, their fitness is still disturbed because in the last month there have been so many matches that they have to run which makes Pep have to shorten some players and fatigue like this is what makes their focus disappear. But I don't think this will take long if in the end some players have had enough rest Manchester City will come back better.
