Ilkay Gundogan on City's Lost Season

“I feel in a lot of games, maybe we gave a bit too much importance to tactics and didn’t really pay attention much on behaviour of ourselves. Having that determination, desire, aggression. Simple things that are part of the game, but maybe sometimes you just think too much about positioning or whatever. You might forget other things that should be normal."

Too much Pep dampens the pep

I thought the same thing about Erik Spoelstra and the Miami "Heat". Lay off practice once in a while, give the players a break.
