It is a strange one , the media are now highlighting our frailty in defending any kind of high ball into our area, Man City are not usually a team that throws free kicks into a crowded area and hoping for the best, when they are doing it you know you have a problem.
The manager may believe in his system but maybe not the players at his disposal, but then he needs to change the way they defend until he gets players that can properly defend as he wants it.
Repeating the same mistake and expecting a different result each time is not very clever... and if not addressed will cost the manager his job some day.
