Hursty Not really, but the combination of set-piece goals, plus a strong defence, had played a significant part in getting them to the top of the table to begin with.
But their goals from set-pieces have dropped off a cliff since February; maybe teams have cottoned-on to their shenanigans? They scored roughly 1 goal per every 11 corners until January; from Feb it’s 1 goal every 48 corners.
As always you also have to consider if large amount of games and fatigue have played a role. City managed to freshen things up a bit in Jan with the additions of Guehi and Semenyo.
Oh, and they are of course bottle-jobs.
Regardless, hopefully their declining continues.
