The draw at Crystal Palace means Manchester City have failed to win in six away games in three different competitions. Conceding 2 goals from Palace also recorded the worst defensive performance in the Guardiola era, besides that the dependence on Haaland is also starting to be seen and it is clear that it is very detrimental to them. Losing 2 points at Palace's headquarters makes City fall further behind Liverpool, although still perched in fourth place, but they are already eight points behind, the points gap still has the opportunity to increase because Liverpool have a postponed match against Everton.

This is currently a slightly worse season for Pep Guardiola because Manchester City are performing below the standard of play they have shown in previous seasons. I see Haaland unable to do something different and clearly this dependence will not benefit the team. The draw obtained by Manchester City makes Liverpool more comfortable in first place in the standings and this is a great opportunity for Liverpool to continue to move away. What big difference has happened so that Manchester City have performed inconsistently this season, even though if you look at it, only a few players are injured and it should not really affect Manchester City's overall performance.
