Crystal Palace - Manchester City game was boring to watch. I thought Manchester City were back to winning ways because of their last outing. It was an surprising to see Manchester City concede an early goal and struggle once again to earn a draw against a side like Crystal Palace. I think Pep has made up his mind to sit this one out, he’s won everything there is to win in England and it seems he is unmotivated to compete anymore. It’s hard to inspire a winner. I think Manchester City are suffering from “winners syndrome”.
It seems like almost all teams in the English league already understand very well how the strategy made by Pep in the field. I'm not surprised because the Premier League is filled with great coaches, so it's not because he's degraded his motivation, but his strategy has been read by opponents so that it has been anticipated on the fields. So even he has won many trophies, he should know how to beat a team like Crystal Palace. He has won many big matches against a top club on Europa like Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, etc. So this makes me wonder why he can't won when meet team like Crystal Palace. Which mean, what Pep made now for the club is currently known by opponent, it's the same case like Jose Mourinho in the past, all opponent already know what the strategy he made, and know how to overcome it.
