Burnwinter can’t disagree with this view more. I think sometimes fans underestimate hope big a task it is to overcome City. The Foden: Saka debate is a case in point. While it’s a stupid discussion, Foden is, at best, the 4th or 5th best player at City. Saka’s our best player. That makes a massive difference when you need to be the best over 38 games. That team could lose KDB the rest of the season and be unimpacted. We don’t have the same margins at all.
It’s also why I never understand the Arteta doesn’t sub debates. It’s immaterial. It’s the KDBs, Saka’s and Haalands that make a difference in game and over a season. And having them in reserve makes you pretty unbeatable.
