What you said is absolutely right because a team like Manchester City should be able to find a balance of power more so that they can still be strong when one or two key players are injured. Because if that is the only thing that can destroy them from a good position to a bad position, of course it would be a shame because they should be fighting for the title again this season. The next game for Manchester City is at home to Tottenham who are also in a bad shape at the moment, so Manchester City should be able to win at home without any excuses.
What you said is true that when a top team loses some injured players they should still be able to perform consistently. But do you realize that what Man City is going through right now is not an easy task?
This is not just about the EPL match but Man City also has the pressure of the UCL match with a new system that makes some players tired. On the one hand the match schedule is getting tighter which has a negative impact on a player.
Maybe with this statement we can be more aware that some top teams in other leagues are also experiencing the same fate.
Well it is not an easy task, but even if they didn't lose anyone, even if they are great, it's still very tough to win 5 in a row, nobody did 4 in a row before City if I remember correctly, and now they are going for 5, which is insane. There is a reason why nobody did 5 in a row before, and even without injuries that has to be something very difficult to do, so it has nothing to do with injuries, it was already a very tough task even before the season started. Now that they have injuries?
Specially to players like Rodri? That became even bigger trouble for them and they are having some issues about it. I believe we are going to see a much worse situation for them if they keep this up, they need to stop losing and start winning some games and if they do a good job then they will earn a magnificent respect without a doubt. They also have to deal with this 115 charges topic as well, we still don't know what's wrong with that and what's going to be the result.
