He reckons City were the better side for an hour, but then tired quite dramatically after 60 mins which prompted some research.
In 29 CL games City have been outrun by the opposition in 21/29 games. Of these we have won only 4 drawn 5 & lost 12.
Of the 8 games where we outran the oppo then we won 6/8 of games.
Apparently Barca, Real & Bayern are the 3 teams who work hardest.
So guess we are just lazy & assume that we will win because of who we are rather than just putting the effort in. Simple stats that make a lot of sense.
Like I said above...arrogant as fuck. In hindsight I think KdB instead of Nasri was for me that thing that seemed dumbest. And I bet those numbers would have been a lot better if Kevin Brown had played from the off. Was it just a nod from the Count to Nasri to give him a chance and now he can hook him all season and try and make him a super sub? Odder man management tactics have been used. Feel me?
Cheers
