I have watched the replay of the match and City is not as poor as we thought it to be. They missed some chances, if they had scored one of those chances, the outcome would be very dfferent. Without Aguero, half their threat was taken away and they only relied on 2 players in Sane and Silva to unlock our defence. Their main weakness is in their defence, they can score 2 goals and concede 3 next. Probably the opposition was giving their defence too much respect.
I think their defence was shell shocked in the last game as probably no other club ran at their defence with such speed and aggression. yes, their weakness is in their defence, if we could get the ball into their box, their defence will struggle. Score another goal early in the return lef and and they will need to score 5 to win the match. The match is won or lost in midfield. As long as we don;t given them time on the ball they will struggle. Every ball was targeting Sane in the last macth. If Aguero is in the team for the next match, he will need to be man mark as well as Sane.
