It was just the usual combination of wrong options taken, faulty technique when crossing and shooting and inability to play a killer pass in the final third that we see every week.
Incredibly, there are still people who think this is a squad which should be halfway up the league, whereas, increasingly, it’s looking like it will finish where its performance over nine months merits - 24th out of 24.
We tried a couple of 'killer' passes in the 1st half and they went 20 yds in front of the target. I always wanted to find out from Bulut and then Riza how they expected City to open up teams, create a bit of space, stretch defences etc., playing like they do. Perhaps I could now ask Ramsey the same question [I think his football pedigree would baulk at anything hinting at 'direct'], but the reality is the last 3 years of recruitment has assembled a squad utterly incapable of competing at this level. Oh the irony of the 6th highest paid squad ending up bottom of the table..
