Oh, I would agree with you on the depth part. They have about twenty players that would start for Liverpool, whereas Liverpool have maybe three that would start for City. Probably just two really - Mignolet and Suarez.
City have certainly shown vulnerability at the back but they are just so comfortable in possession. The Liverpool match two days ago was a good example - once they got the lead you knew they just weren't going to give it up. Same thing with Crystal Palace today, although they are admittedly much weaker opponents.
