the numbers behind Manchester City's terrible series (Premier League)

City no longer dominates

The bad series began with a trip to Tottenham in the League Cup, a 2-1 defeat not necessarily well paid (1.63 Expected Goals to 0.88 that day) and a priori not so significant given the turnover practiced, with notably a midfielder made up of young Nico O'Reilly and James McAtee. A few days later, Bournemouth won by the same score, in the Premier League this time, but losing the battle of chances despite the typical team. A first warning signal, more football-related, followed by another, this time mental. On the Brighton pitch, two goals conceded in the last quarter of an hour led to another 2-1 setback.
