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.
Manchester City has not really been the same without Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri. The absence of De Bruyne is noticed in their gameplay. While I think they’re still in good form and still very much a strong contender for winning the title again this season.
Arsenal has also notably improved a considerable lot from last season and they’re also in good form, playing better football. This is evident in their games. I think it says a lot when playing against Manchester City and they find it difficult to score a goal.

Manchester city had been losing some players but the impact was very big. Manchester city becomes less creative in term of attacking line. I rarely saw someone who can initiate the attack against its opponent. It's very different when manchester city is still having some names like de bruyne and rodri. It was giving really big impact to the performance from manchester city. Three losses in a row which was a bad achievement by manchester city even though this club can comeback anytime but i saw the different gameplay compared wht city was playing with KDB and rodri.
De bruyne has become one of key factor for manchester city to win the treble winners. Haaland was a one tap specialist and KDB has been helping him a lot to scoring so many goals last season.
The thing is now changing but i hope some players like de bruyne will able to come back as soon as possible. Manchester city really needs him at this moment to help the club in winning the rest of matches in all of competitions.
