Considering no team saved and blocked less shots than City this season, is one way of reading this that City might not allow a lot of shots but basically all those that they give away are high quality ones? Would make sense when looking at their troubles in rest defense.
Not really! I think it actually says they've been punished by really good finishing (or poor goalkeeping, or a mix of both) that they've faced that exceeds the quality of chance that they are giving up. Opposite scenario to United.

it’s not just that they’re vulnerable without it, they specifically cannot handle the exact kind of pressure they invite.
I’m pretty sure the difference is the “Kyle Walker breakaway delete” button just doesn’t cut it anymore.
