I don’t really know why Manchester City didn’t perform well in the match, maybe it’s because of De Bruyne's injury. I think Pep Guardiola has to look for a replacement for De Bruyne because he will be going for surgery and he won’t be coming back soon. Let’s see how Manchester City will perform against Newcastle in their next match. I know it won’t really be easy for Manchester City.
The departure of some of the best players means they don't have a similar replacement yet. Gudongan, making the midfield line has no attack creator other than De Bruyne. If Bruyne is injured then Man City are like losing a creative person. I think against Sevilla they lost 2-0, it was difficult for them to win. Unfortunately, several goal-ready chances failed.
losing one player does not mean the team performance will decrease and have we forgotten that Man City has a great coach and also a reliable player like haaland? the injury experienced by De Bruyne does not mean that Man City performance was bad for the match against Sevilla because have we also forgotten something that Sevilla is the defending holder of the European league cup?
it would not be surprising for me if Man City had a little trouble beating Sevilla because of what I said before and also for me Man City match against Sevilla was very good because in the second half Man City players managed to score which made the match enter the penalty round and end win.
if someone still says Man City performance is not good, I think that is very wrong.
