Two Steps Forward, One Step Back (then one to the side and clap your hands)

After defeat at Nottingham Forest, David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and Mark Critchley from The Athletic to discuss Manchester City's position in the battle for the Champions League places.Focusing on the match at the City Ground, they look at the question of creativity from wide areas and City's chance-creation, given they had a lot of the ball and not a lot to show for it. With those dropped points, they discuss what it will take between now and May to qualify for next season's top European competition.Brighton are the visitors to the Etihad on Saturday, looking for their first ever league double over City... How can Pep Guardiola's side stop that from happening and stop another team in the top four (or five) race from going ahead in the table? Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls explains what to expect from the away side, too.Tickets are again in the spotlight, following the 1894 Group's huge survey of fans on ticketing issues - and there's also the retirement of Alvaro Negredo to consider.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
