10 months agoWe don’t it’s a myth these days.
What we do have is multiple players who can play 2 or 3 positions.
We have no natural left back but use Ake and Gvardiol.
We have one natural right back in Walker but use Lewis and Stones as inverted right sided defenders who move into midfield.
City of 2018/19 had more depth.
This City team is tightly knitted with players who can play all over the shop and different roles.
You have Foden who can play left, right, or central.
Bernardo plays left, central, and when central can play box to box or as a playmaker.
Alvaraz can play striker, or this season, he’s been playing a modified KDB role.
City have no more detail in numbers than any other team
To put it simply, knockout football is a lottery. One bad performance in a knockout round game, and you’re done.
In the league, you generally have between 34-38 games. One bad result has a minimal knock-on effect in the grand scheme of things.
Obviously, you have points in a league season where losing a game is near the end, but knockout football is on an entirely different level .
