It's not easy to maintain hunger or success in most sports, and especially football. City has dominated the landscape for a while now and inevitably the decline will come. Players tune coaches out, the grind can just get exhausting. Team balance and chemistry is also a very delicate thing to hold together when players begin to come and go.
This is our chance. We've dropped a game, but better to get this wake up call now, and make sure that's all it is - a wake up call. And reset and react accordingly.
Thankfully we don't get to feel the pressure for a little bit longer.
