The defensive line of manchester city is very weak as it was always conceded so many goals. Pep needs to do somethings. I think that he needs to make sure his club will be able to get three points again.
Manchester city needs to keep up with the team like arsenal and liverpool which are still facing easy schedule. Pep needs also to buy the new defenders.
Im thinking that manchester city needs a new centre back. It was also need to replace walker with a new good RB.

I agree that Man City defense is the weakest line, they need to improve it if Man City wants to play stronger. You're right, Pep needs to sign an experienced center back. They also need to sign a new right back and left back who has a good ability both in attacking and defending. Man City defense is in urgent to improve, current defenders seem hard to make Man City be more competitive.

Last season, Manchester City have two top midfielder between İlkay Gündoğan and Kevin De Bruyne but when Pep Guardiola have loss both of them make difficult with balance on midfielder position. Thee draw matches in a row are bad achievement for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola won one against top six matches when facing Manchester United. On attacking midfielder position, Pep Guardiola have tried many option from Julian Alvarez and Bernando Silva but still difficult how to make balance midfielder between defensive and offensive. Probably with Erling Haaland have difficult scoring goals since Kevin De Bruyne get injury and he need great midfielder give assists for him on every match.

Indeed. In the last season, Man City has duo İlkay Gündoğan-Kevin De Bruyne in the midfield line. These players succeed to make Man City very strong both in attacking and defending. Now, Man City lost the roles of these players. Gündoğan moved to Barcelona, meanwhile De Bruyne got injured for a long time. The absence of these players bring big impacts to Man City performance because they are no players who have the similar ability like them. Julian Alvarez and Bernando Silva may be good in attacking but they are not proper players to keep the balance for the team. Julian Alvarez and Bernando Silva can't play well for defending, they are only good for attacking.
