Manchester City’s defence and goalkeeper are poor
Vincent Kompany and Pablo Zabaleta may be defenders of a high quality, but Gael Clichy can make mistakes, Matija Nastasic is inexperienced and Joleon Lescott is average at best. Aleksandar Kolarov is reliable and a genuine attacking threat, though he is rarely trusted in big games. However their main problem is the lack of a quality goalkeeper. Joe Hart is as overrated as a player can be, and is by far the worst goalkeeper amongst the big clubs in the Premier League this season, while Costel Pantilimon is pretty inexperienced for someone who is 26 years old. Liverpool can exploit the City backline with their passing and also with the pace and skill of the star duo Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho.
