Manchester city won in a dramatic way on the road against Sheffield and they have again proven their consistency over the last few games. The goal scored by Rodri saved Manchester City from a draw and they are increasingly confident at the top of the standings at this time. I had doubts that Manchester City would win this match but anything can still happen, especially for the reigning EPL champions last season. Throughout 90 minutes, Pep Guardiola only made one substitution and that is sometimes a bit risky if the team is in a draw. But indeed the winning mentality for the Manchester City squad is unquestionable and they are doing well so far.
The team urgently needs a quality playmaker. They already have very good players one-on-one up front. Alvarez has very good narrow area skills. The absence of KDB and Ilkay is a big problem. Also Haaland started this season very sloppy. Other than that, Grealish is really the best player in the team. A number 10 transfer is a must! We have witnessed Rodri pulling rabbits out of the hat in times of crisis a lot in the last 6 months, but how long will this continue in the absence of KDB and Ilkay? A good number 10 or number 8 is a must!
