I’d feel considerably worse about this if it went down to the wire again and City lost it via sheer bad luck. They just aren’t anywhere near good enough this season, and Liverpool will rightly win the league.
Your whole team making like a house of cards thanks to the absence of a single player points to poor transfer policy and management. Even then though you’re expecting basic defensive discipline. Giving Shelvey roughly ten miles of space on the edge of the area in the 85th minute just suggests nobody’s bothering with the fundamentals of defending with them. Or more likely, the backline gets chopped and changed so much none of them really know what they’re supposed to be doing.
