I donât quite get the âweâre a year more experienced so that will close the gap on Cityâ argument ... theyâre also a year more experienced - surely both cancel each other out
They had already won trophies though, and remember the swagger they had after winning their first?
The same applies to us now.
You could also make a case that a few of their players are a year older, and a year closer to decline.
In elite sports, where so much is decided by the finest of margins, things like that matter.
You could say that the 2 matches against them last season decided the title.
You could go further and say that Kompany not getting sent off for his two footed lunge when Mo was clear through, decided the title, or even the ball that came back off the post, missed Mo by inches, and somehow didn't do in decided the title.
Small margins, tiny even, but they decided the title last year.
