Maybe now seeing that there is no de Bruyne in Manchester City squad, looks like a lion that is a little limp, their performance has declined in the last two matches in the English main league, it is quite dangerous when the game on the field pivotes on one player, and what is seen to be seen that no one can replace the role of De Bruyne to this day, who is commensurate to replace De Bruyne in an active midfielder position, as seen that his successor is R Lewis, but not as great as De Bruyne, then what rotation needs to be done for Fill the emptiness? Who deserves to rotate the position?
Speaking UCL Manchester City can certainly enter the next round of the match to see the victory they have collected, and I think it is strong enough at UCL even without the support of De Bruyne on the field.
The trending team in EPL and UCL have declined in performance this season, I'm wondering what happen to a team that generated such fierce fire last season by winning a treble. Pep Guardiola and his supporters specifically knows the origination of their problems and will not quite till everything is solved and handled appropriately. The absence of Kelvin De Bruyne is one of the major void that created a vacant space in the midfield, though Rodri have tried his best to fit in but he's actually not 100% fit to handle everything by himself, he's aggressive but he's not keen on giving tremendous passes like Kelvin De Bruyne.
If there are no players who can replace De Bruyne role, then of course Pep Guardiola must apply different strategies and tactics. Because of course, if Pep Guardiola still uses the same strategy and tactics as there is still De Bruyne, then it will never succeed in producing good performance. Of course, I am sure that Pep Guardiola has good skills and plans for Manchester City even without De Bruyne. Because ya, it will be very bad if Pep Guardiola cannot overcome the dependence on De Bruyne for Manchester City's performance.
