I think Man City was too confident too early and they became complacent when they were ahead with a score of 2-0. They dominated the game and thought they would get an easy win, it's just that they forgot that anything can happen in football, and in the end, they were punished for this. The enthusiasm and motivation that Crystal Palace has deserves appreciation. They didn't give up quickly even though they were 2-0 behind and the enemy they faced was Man City.

Yes that's right. I saw this match also like that, Man City were too confident after winning 2-0, even though in football matches, especially the Premier League, before full time the opponent can punish you if you make a mistake. And sure enough, in that match Crystal Palace managed to take advantage of this opportunity and punish Man City. This draw is certainly very painful for Man City because they are now three points behind Liverpool and if Liverpool can win the match against Man United then the point difference will be six points.

But even so, Liverpool must remain wary of Man City, because reflecting on last year's experience, Man City was eight points behind Arsenal last December. Starting last January, Man City began to recover, until the end of the season Arsenal were caught up because several players were injured. And in January, KDB and Haaland were able to play again. This could make Man City consistent again. And it is not impossible that what happened last season could happen again this season.

I also had the same thought. Even though Man City's recent performance is not good, but that doesn't mean their chances in the title race are gone. There is still quite a long way to go in the Premier League, so Man City still has time to improve and return to their best performance. De Bruyne has been out for quite a long time, so there is a possibility that he will not be able to play as well as before his injury but still his return will strengthen Man City's midfield and provide motivation for his teammates because he is one of the key players who can make a difference when he has the opportunity to play.
