It's already happening, but let them keep on thinking that. We'd scored one set piece goal (Kipre against Watford) at this time last year and, from memory, the second one didn't come until well into 2023.

As Eric says, I find us much easier to watch this season and I wouldn't put that solely down to better results. That said, when I'm writing my post match blog pieces, I'm often struck by how few close misses by City there are for me to describe and so I'm not surprised by what Eric says about our conversion rate - one thing which goes some way to explaining why we're still not that creative from open play is that our main playmaker has been unavailable for around two thirds of the season so far.
