A big week? Brighton draw 'punch in ribs' for Man City
"A crucial month for Manchester City has begun badly. Pep Guardiola will hope this season does not derail in similar fashion to last season. Patched up because of a growing list of injuries, City are seeing their title challenge fall apart. They have now drawn three games in a row. As Wednesday's match against Brighton finished 1-1, there were a few jeers at full-time."
""The second half was quite similar against Sunderland and Chelsea - we missed the passes. I like a lot the way we play... many new players and many new things... but we don't score goals. "Too many clear chances and all the people up front... unfortunately we could not score. Scoring goals is part of doing your job." Man City continue to falter with Brighton draw"
Manchester City have drawn three consecutive matches, including a 1-1 draw with Brighton, and have dropped six points in a week. A packed schedule from 1 January to 1 February features 10 games across four competitions. Numerous injuries have sidelined defenders Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and John Stones, prompting the recall and debut of academy player Max Alleyne. Erling Haaland scored his 150th goal for the club but goals remain scarce. City created many clear chances yet failed to convert them, provoking some jeers at full-time. If Arsenal beat Liverpool, City could sit eight points behind with 17 matches remaining.
