Manuel Akanji suggests that the 1-1 stalemate with Everton could potentially initiate a turnaround for the struggling Premier League title holders Manchester City.
The outcome on Thursday resulted in City securing just a single victory in their past 13 fixtures across all competitions since October, leaving them trailing league leaders Liverpool by 14 points, with the latter holding an additional match to play.
The Swiss defender reflected, "It felt like a frustrating afternoon but, when you compare it to the other matches, we played really well from the first minute to the last."
"We tried to score a goal, we tried to play offensive football, but they (Everton) basically scored out of nowhere. We did enough to win the match but it didn't turn our way."
City's next challenge awaits at struggling Leicester on Sunday.
Akanji continued, "We need to keep on working and the next opportunity is in a few days. There's nothing else we can do at the moment. We're trying everything..."
"I still believe that we will come back to the way we used to play -- it will come sooner or later."
