If going to Wembley on Sunday didn’t cost enough, I decided to put myself through this too – but it didn’t pay off.
Manchester City suffered their third consecutive league defeat, making that four without a win in the league. Goals from Adam Lallana, James Milner and Roberto Firmino gave an ordinary Liverpool side a comfortable win.
City ‘s record against the top sides this season continues to look dismal and they look to be more involved in a race for the top four, than a race for the title – with Manchester United and West Ham snapping at the heels of Manuel Pellegrini’s outfit.
Luckily for the Blues, results elsewhere went their way and both Spurs and Arsenal lost, meaning the result isn’t as bad as it looks. City host rock-bottom Aston Villa on Saturday where they will hope to get back to winning ways and stop the rot.
