The more I see of Manchester City, the more I am surprised their powers-that-be didn't see this coming. They've been caught asleep at the wheel.
Spending over £130million in January, a record for City in a winter window, only underlines that a club that seems so well organised did not react quickly enough to their obvious shortcomings.
They were easily second-best to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek and to now be in a situation where they need to beat Club Bruges to qualify for the next stage of the Champions League, it highlights how several of their players are on a downward spiral.
