People do a huge discredit to us when they talk like that as well
Not sure fans who think it's a disservice to us understand what exactly we do then. Generally speaking:
You can think our attack is the greatest seen in world football. You can think more realistically it's a collection of top attackers, set-up well. Or you can think these are good to very good players, deployed in the best positions in their careers.
All these things come later. Sure they'll make the difference between a 3 - 0 lead v 1 - 0 with weaker attackers or merely great chances missed, but the tactical choices come first. Swansea have access to players that are no slower than what we have, no less agile. That's all you need, coupled with workrate, to disrupt teams the way we disrupt. They've had a season's worth to examine the scenarios that happen when you let City, with their collection of the best attackers money can buy, walk it into the attacking third. At this point, choosing to sit back, when you are a Premiership side, showing no moments of sustained pressing, adequate risk management, is just foolishness on your part. There's no guessing about any of this anymore. Combine those tools.
As long as City can let others win the games for them, they'll find it easy again. You need to see more and more teams pull that cloak off.
