What happen to Manchester City, Aston Villa successfully pressuring Manchester City and that make Manchester City can only give 3 shots. The absence of Rodri really make Manchester City looks like a mediocre club. Alvarez can still able to replace De Bruyne, but there's no one can replace Rodri even they have 3-4 defensive midfielders.
Again and again McTominay give a big contribution for Manchester United, I think he deserve to play in left wing or center forward position.
Can Manchester City win the Premier League? Pep Guardiola already saying he'll win but it doesn't seem so to me even if he get his assist machine back in, ( Kevin De Bruyne ) it might be tooo late to achieve and clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal maybe far gone already.
The absence of Rodri should be no excuse here, Instead of using Akanji as a double pivot with John Stones, why not introduce in Kalvin Philips? I really ponder at times what that lad has done for him not to get a single chance. He was a good lad for Leeds United truthfully.
Julian Alvarez for Kevin De Bruyne? That's a big joke he can't be. Alvarez looks sad, he wants to score goals. Manchester United did well last night they should have scored more than that though. Sanchez made some good number of saves.
