This is the thing. Man City know how to close out a title race either as leaders or chasers, we don't. It's why they should be favourites for the title.
I don't think we'll collapse or anything but we're going to have to play significantly better than we have in recent weeks if we're going to win the PL. It's imperative we cut out the silly goals we've started to concede. They'll cost us sooner or later.
I don't remember them going into a run in being behind by 5 points, in 2019 I'm pretty sure they took the lead when Liverpool dropped points vs Everton around March, and 2022 they were leading and actually let Liverpool back into it. We've never actually seen them chasing a team a head of them, especially not by that margin. I do think we'll have to show some serious consistency and as you say stop conceding silly goals but I'm still not convinced City are going to be as perfect as some say. If we win our next 3 for example they may become demoralised if their hard work is paid off while also juggling CL and FA Cup which is more in their own hands.
