Manchester City without Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodri is an overhyped team. The absence of both players have had a negative impact on the team’s performance in the last three games including defeat to Arsenal this weekend which is the most recent lose they have conceded. Gabriel Martinelli’s goal was enough to give Arsenal a win. Arsenal will treasure this win, the team have worked hard to come this far, good work to Mikel Arteta, trusting the process is finally paying off.
It's still early weeks and nothing clear about that. Arsenal got three points against city but it doesn't even mean if winning this match made arsenal won EPL. City had got many of its important players were injured. There's nothing wrong to miss those players due to the injury. Rodri was out due to the red card suspension. You call that an over hyped team once it was able winning treble winners last season. How is it possible for over hyped teams to win treble winners?
The better to lost at the early weeks but win the trophy at the end rather than lead the competition for 33 weeks but still trophyless.
It's just matter of time till grealish, rodri, de bruyne and many players will be coming back again. Football was a game for 11 players and not only KDB on rodri.
Having important players in the club is not something wrong.
