Manchester City have spent pretty much the entire season relying upon victories that are only obtained by the smallest of margins and are often only made secure by their defence performing well over the course of a game, so it was a real pleasure to see City play at the weekend in a style that many have been suggesting they are more than capable of doing for some time now, rather than watching them bore their way to the Champions League as they have been doing for so long.
With the Sky Blues derided this season for being a boring and uninspiring side, despite the fact that they possess players like David Silva and Carlos Tevez, a man who certainly can play the beautiful game, Roberto Mancini has finally started to cast off the shackles as his side edge ever closer to ensuring that next season will be the one during which they join the European elite by finally earning themselves a place in the Champions League. The Manchester City betting now suggests they'll have no problems doing this.
However, although this is clearly all nice to see, especially for City fans, it does leave one wondering why Manchester City haven't been playing this way for the whole season and questioning just how much they could have achieved if they had been deploying a 4-4-2 formation from the start. Despite this, City fans know that they have a great chance to end the season as FA Cup winners and in the Champions League and the football betting tips reflect this.
If they can now keep their defence playing the same way they managed when the shackles were firmly on, and let their attack start to run wild and free in the manner of the weekend, then we may just have a side that can realistically end next season as Champions.
