Brentford’s comeback against Manchester City reveals cracks in the champions’ dominance, raising questions about their current form and resilience.
London: So, after Brentford’s thrilling match against Manchester City, Thomas Frank had a tough time answering a question. It was about whether he thought City was vulnerable. He paused, clearly trying to be respectful, and finally said he felt they had a good chance.
Frank’s response showed that even he knows City isn’t the powerhouse they used to be. Teams now believe they can take them on, and that was evident in the game. City had a solid performance, leading 2-0 with just 15 minutes left, but they still let Brentford back in.
Pep Guardiola was upbeat after the match, noting that City created more chances than ever at Brentford’s ground. But Frank pointed out that his team had their fair share of opportunities too, with 18 shots on goal. It was an open game, and both sides had their moments.
Fans might not have enjoyed the outcome, but other teams are now more confident when facing City. They expect to have chances, and that’s a big shift from how things used to be. City is struggling to reclaim their former dominance, and it’s showing on the pitch.
