Groundhog Day. Poch's obvious area of blindness, how not to set up against City (or Liverpool).
With the fastest oppo in the league, let's put Trippier in a back 4;
With the best oppo at playing out of defence and creating space in MF and attack, let's make sure we concede early. That way we have to press their keeper and back 4, who are more skillful than ours, which leaves masses of space in the MF for them to carve through at will;
Let's not bother with a back 3/5, even though it makes us defensively much tighter.
Last season even Woy managed to set up against Citeh and be level in the 90th. And even had a (missed) pen to win it. Even Spam managed to go to City and only lost at the death. Even Saints - and that was the last kick of the game.
City aren't unbeatable. They're the best team in the division, but the same old DNA is there still - the ability to miss a shedload of chances and then gift you some too.
Really frustrating, we're not learning. Same old mistakes.
