Manchester City’s lack of cutting edge proved costly again as they were held to a 1-1 draw by struggling West Brom to remain off the pace at the top of the Premier League.
The Citizens dominated possession and, on 30 minutes, took the lead when Raheem Sterling’s smart cut-back was sidefooted in by Ilkay Gundogan.
An own-goal by Ruben Dias and the heroics of goalkeeper Sam Johnstone allowed West Bromwich Albion to earn an impressive point at the Etihad.
City have now dropped points for the seventh time this season and are in sixth, having won just five of their opening 12 games.
Manchester City are five points behind leaders Tottenham and have a lot of work to do if they are going to win back the Premier League title.

Aren’t you seeing how we are playing? Do you really think that we can win consistently like before?

Pep has players to replace the tired ones in both midfield and forward who can change the game but refused. Gabriel j, cancelo, mendy was doing absolutely nothing. City need a striker Gabriel has has enough chances to prove himself but wasn’t able to do anything

It’s not a bad performance… it’s bad luck… those West Brom will never play a better game in their lives

Jesus is shit, failed to muster a single shot for 90mins. He should be playing for villa.
Our fullbacks are not helping matters, PEP should be playing arnold or robo clipse before every match for them. Seeing foden, sterling and jesus leading our attack makes me sad.— CHUPE (@Y_chupe) December 15, 2020
