You’re absolutely right, I’ve been watching tifoIRL on YouTube and I wonder why pundits never break down matches anywhere near that level of quality? They spent years playing the game at the highest level, surely this is like bread and butter levels of basic to them?

Sorry I don’t agree, epitome of luck would imply there’s no difference between a FK specialist and your 4th string right back taking the shot. Also, what about that season where Dmitri Payet was scoring a stupid amount of direct free kicks? I wouldn’t call that luck or even mostly luck.

I don’t even like city but this argument winds me up. The guy has a spotless cv but people assume he’d struggle with a less talented side. He clearly understands football and how to set up a team.
