One victory in six matches. This is Manchester City’s surprising record recently in the league. The Cityzens were forced into a third division in a row at home. After those against Liverpool and Tottenham, it was against Crystal Palace that Pep Guardiola’s men cracked a little. Ultra-dominant in the first period, the Cityzens returned to the locker room with a score of 1-0 (goal from Jack Grealish in the 24th minute) while the scorer should have shown a much greater difference.
In the second half, however, things resumed quite positively with Rico Lewis’ break goal. But seeming to fall asleep a little as the match progressed, the City players conceded in the 76th minute through Mateta. Worse still, Phil Foden caused a penalty at the very end of the match and Olise was responsible for converting it to fix the score at 2-2.
A small wind of crisis is starting to blow towards the Etihad Stadium where the absences of De Bruyne, Haaland, and even Doku are being felt. The cogs of the cityzen machine seem slightly squeaky, you will have to quickly oil everything to get going again.
