From the source

Manchester City have frustratingly lost their past two Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Brighton. Errors at the back have cost City dearly as the three goals they’ve conceded in their 2-1 loss at Villa Park and their 1-0 defeat to Brighton at the Etihad all came courtesy of mistakes made by Marc Guehi, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Matheus Nunes.

Those individual errors must be ironed of Manchester City’s play. Also, Enzo Maresca’s side have created more than enough clear-cut chances to win both games.

However, City have failed to take their chances which highlights an issue with this City squad. Setting the defensive errors aside, Manchester City have created more than enough chances to pick up results against Aston Villa and Brighton.
