Why it’s gone wrong at City

Manchester City’s quest to defend their Premier League suffered a major blow when they failed to beat struggling Hull City.

1 where are the goals? At the same stage last season, City had scored 68 in the league — 21 more than now. They let Alvaro Negredo leave and have waited until now to sign Wilfried Bony.


2 Breaking down There is nothing strange about opponents parking the bus against City, but Pellegrini’s side no longer have a solution. Playmaker David Silva has only provided two assists in the league all season.


3 The Yaya factor City have yet to win in six league games without Toure this season, drawing five and losing one. Fernando and Fernandinho can’t replace his drive and his return from the Africa Cup of Nations tomorrow will be a big relief.


4 Leaky City Hull’s shambolic goal on Saturday was the 10th time in 24 league games this season City have gone behind. They have come back to win in just three.


5 troubled minds City have gone from one problem to another, from the FFP punishment and controversy over Frank Lampard’s signing to minor distractions such as James Milner’s contract stalemate. It seems to have had a damaging effect. – Daily Mail
