I thought Alvarez's performance would be good, but Haaland's absence is very obvious. Unfortunately, the absence of one player is tiring for City. If Haaland suffers an injury for 5-6 months, City can only finish the season in the mid-table. KDB was the brains of the team and City was already badly affected by his injury. Moreover, when Haaland's absence is added to this, Manchester City continues to deteriorate.
Losing KDB and Haaland from the Manchester City squad is currently a big loss for Manchester City, even though they still have replacement players, but it is clear that the creativity of the attacks built by Manchester City has decreased drastically when these two players are absent, so far Pep Guardiola has focused too much on KDB as a driving the midfield and also being Haaland's main supporter, his full trust in KDB and Haaland all this time has finally boomeranged for Pep, who is now starting to have difficulty finding other players who are capable of doing the same thing as KDB and Haaland are doing in the Manchester City squad.
