Hardly anyone understands why City have such big problems and why they can't get up again? At the moment the place for the CL positions in the PL is also shaky and if they don't manage to qualify for the CL it would be a disaster for next year, because then they can't even recover from this bad season.
Sometimes big clubs need a little break (like Real Madrid this year) but they should at least qualify for the CL, otherwise next season will be a disappointment for the fans.
Two straight FA cup losses for Pep Guardiola and his men which is seriously a thing of concern for them as this was their only shot at Silverware this season, Now Manchester city will end the season trophyless if I am not mistaken the second time under Pep Guardiola. Many people are already blaming it on tactics and the rest but I simply blame it on the squad depth. In the past seasons that Manchester City actually won almost everything they had second team that was capable of winning the league but right now let’s be sincere do we see same team again? I would say, so there is currently a squad overhaul at Manchester city and this things doesn’t just get better at once it takes time and some more signings so for me I think Manchester City although had done by this defeat should take it as a wake up call.
As for Crystal Palace I am much happy they won it just like Newcastle this is their second final in less than ten years in this competition so personally for me it opens door for more lower teams to dream that they can win domestic trophies too. Fans are calling for cheating against Manchester city I will say the referee missed the call and Pope should have been off but sincerely how many controversial decisions have Manchester City to benefit from over the years
I agree that Manchester City’s failure this season can be traced to poor squad depth because they incurred injuries to their key players which affected the team’s performance throughout the season, if they had a good squad depth probably the case would have been different but it wasn’t. The league has come to the an end and the summer window is here for them to recruit and strengthen positions they are lacking in for the coming season.
