"we have to realise it's a doggy dog market"
It seems for years now, under Mancini, Pellegrini & Guardiola, game after game, City score the same goal, sometimes two or three times in the same game.
If you could see a highlight reel of Aguero/ Sterlings goals for City, 75% of them will be a winger/full back run to the (usually right sided) byline, a low cut back across the box, and a tap in for said forward.
My question is why do so many defenders/ goalkeepers follow the ball each time in this instance? We all know where its going, on the toe of whoevers standing in the middle of the 6 yard box.
Easier said then done, but when you see a City player at the byline, 85% of the time its going square to striker standing in the middle of the 6 yard box, why not stand infront of Aguero / Sterling and cut out the majority of their goals.
