What if: Sergio Aguero hadn't scored that goal in the 2011-12 season

#3 City would still be waiting for their first PL title

Still looking for that elusive title in the ‘what-if’ world

Back in the real world, City have won two PL titles till date. The famous 2012 title, and the nearly-as-famous 2013-14 title when City held their nerve after Gerrard's slip to snatch the title from Liverpool in the final three weeks of the season.

Pellegrini and Rodgers were unequivocal in their assessment that City's previous experience at having seen a title challenge through had helped them greatly.

Back to our fictional world, and City has again justified their reputation for choking by losing out on the title in 2012. Would such a team be resolute and resilient enough to see off Everton at Goodison Park in May 2014, with the whole world's eyes on them, the pressure breathing down their neck? Unlikely, isn't it?
