Pep must be melting inside. He said it so many times over the past seasons that they were in an injury crisis I think they really did start to believe in it and play like it. Subbing KdB in late also doesn't help anymore -- in fact, 9 minutes after he came on the lead they were trying to protect evaporated.
Who else is enjoying this blue meltdown? Haaland's on my FPL but I cheered on that final playground tustle yellow. Haha. Such a big shame we'll only get to meet them 3 weeks from now. Plenty of time for them to reboot, recover, and trounce Spurs.
P.S. City always do falter early season, so this isn't a surprise. Just perhaps been such a long time since I saw them lose 4 games on the trot. I don't think it's ever happened in Pep's time, has it?
Before game I was a bit surprised when I saw 1.80 odds for City, thought that's a bit too high. So, for the first time in whole career Pep suffered 4 losses in a row. Not that I'm happy for City meltdown cuz I love Pep, but their dominance is just boring. Break comes at right time for City, but most of players won't have much time to recover as they will play for nationals time.
Now LFC against Villa, should be good game and I'm jumping between this game and Torino derby.
