He’s done that. And also managed to have some really solid games. He’s a god damn Pele of defenders compared to what we are used to.
Compared to other CB though, Dutch players whatever. He’s average. He is performing adequately for a top 4 clubs main CB. It’s just we aren’t used to it.
In relation to the beat ups and wankfest. There was a sense of optimism. 7 points clear will do that. But I was far more invested in the infamous slip year. That was our year if there ever was.
We played better football last year imo and if we played like last year in attack this year, I’d be confident.
Reality is those 2 draws have been coming all season. We are somewhat back to having no solutions when teams park the bus.
This is City’s trophy to lose and has been since June 2017.
