Manchester City fullback Kyle Walker has confessed the champions have been "worked out" by the rest of the Premier League.
Walker was reacting to Saturday's 2-2 draw at Newcastle United, leaving them 11 points behind leaders Liverpool.
He said: “The opposition are probably working us out a bit.
“Or the opposition are getting better. We are still the same squad. We have changed very little. We are still adapting a professional mentality around the place. We have to take our hats off to Liverpool.
“They have been fantastic and credit where it is due. They deserve to be top, but it is not over until it is over.
“We have the ability in the dressing room to go and catch anyone on our day. We have to take it game by game and keep chalking them off, getting three points, and moving on to the next one."
