Manchester City played badly again.
But they won. 2-0. (Not a score that accurately reflects the difference in quality between the two teams.)
They won because Hull City strikers can't focus well enough to score goals under too much pressure (or more pressure than they've been used to until now).
With Hull having the best chances and the better of the possession, Manchester City looked destined for disaster again.
Up front, however, Hull proved time and time again to be too forgiving, even though they kept pressing to get goals.
Still, it was the new acquisition who taught his Man. City colleagues about scoring. Yes, Alvaro Negredo, again (in my opinion) the most dangerous man on the pitch, like in the match against Cardiff, had to show his team mates how to get the job done.
Because Yaya Toure's goal was scored really late in a match that had only about 2 minutes of injury time, clearly Negredo's effort was the one that effectively put the Citizens again into the top three.
The most important thing to take from this match, though, is that Man. City's performance in their first match, against Newcastle, seems to have been a fluke, and, as of now, the team from Manchester is performing much like a mid-table team.
