Man City's snakebitten second halves are destroying their title challenge | Jonathan Wilson

I'm still loving my Man City... well, mostly . Their form has been a bit wonky lately, but I don't think it's all doom and gloom. Pep's trying some new tactics with that high press, and it's not always working out as planned. I mean, I get why he wants to try something different, but 11 points dropped in six games is still a big drop-off.

I think the problem is more than just fatigue – it's like they're running out of ideas or something? They used to be so confident and clinical on the counter-attack, now they're just getting picked apart by teams that can match them. And don't even get me started on those second-half goals...

Still, I've got faith in Pep and the lads. We've been through tough periods before, and we always seem to bounce back stronger. Maybe it's time for them to regroup and recharge? Bring on the next game! ️

You know what's interesting? This whole thing reminds me of the old debate about the role of coaches in sports . Some people say that a change in tactics can be too drastic and lead to a decline in performance, while others argue that it's necessary for teams to stay competitive . I think Pep Lijnders' introduction is like that - it's an interesting experiment, but are City's players really ready for this level of intensity? It also makes me wonder about the bigger picture... what if other top teams are struggling with similar issues too? That could be a real concern for the Premier League as a whole .
