The problem is that they were good for a very long time, and then suddenly they started to be terrible, even at the start of the season for a long time, until like November, they were still a great team, then suddenly something happened and they started to be a terrible team. That doesn't really make sense, I am not saying that we are not looking at anything from a different perspective but I believe Rodri missing can't really be the only reason.
Exactly. There are many reasons why Manchester City's performance is going this way, not just because Rodri is missing. As you said, Manchester City's performance is not really good enough, although some people think that because some of their few key players are not around or injured, that is why they are playing this way, but to me, seriously, it is not. We need to look at the other side of the team, not just the missing players.
This is going to take a while for them to get back to where they were, but it's clear that they are never going to be as great as they used to be, just doesn't look possible at the moment. In any case, we could just assume that their time was great and fun, and now it looks to be over.
Seriously. They won’t be like before; with the way things are going for them, I can see that there is not even an attempt to be great like before again, although you are right: they can be stronger and good in performance, but Manchester City will find it difficult to be as good as they were before.
