Manchester city have lost some of the good hands that have made the club the top for several consecutive seasons and also haven't won other leagues aside from champion League that we are discussing here, shortly after the last season the club was opened up to some team management that the clubs could have pay whatever prize to retain and even increase the good hands on the club to put them up alin better position compared to the present position that Manchester city fund themselves this time around and the underperformance is not only in the champion Leagues but all the other leagues that the club in engaged on in this season.

Pep thinks that the players he signed to replace these players he let go can perform to their standard or above their standards, but they couldn't, and the team is becoming unbalance if one or two players get injured especially Rodri. I think things will become better since their main man KDB is back from injury and will soon start playing with the rest of his team mates.

That's true and that's what Manchester City has experienced so far, even though Pep Guardiola is a great coach, that doesn't guarantee that his judgment can be in line with what's happening on the field. We know the importance of Rodri as a tempo maker in the midfield and also helping in defense and what happens if this player is absent? Of course Manchester City will find it increasingly difficult to win and even more likely to face a draw or defeat.

Kevin De Bruyne has returned to the field with Manchester City and that is a breath of fresh air for Pep Guardiola because he doesn't need to be confused considering that their attack line will be more deadly with Kevin De Bruyne. Now their focus is to reunite this team in the last 16 and we will definitely want to know the changes commensurate with last season.

I don't think Rodri will be absent for long because he only returned to his hometown because he experienced sad news from his family so it won't be a big problem for Manchester City because his physical condition is fine. It's just growing mentally to return to Manchester City and I predict it looks like he's just absent for just 1 week or at most 2 weeks, we all know that Rodri is an important player who can set the tempo in midfield and his toughness in defending Manchester City but I think Manchester City can still play in rhythm because of other important players like Kevin De Bruyne has returned to the club.

Kevin De Bruyne has made his first debut this season by taking part in the FA Cup and he has started to show his skills by providing goal assists so that Kevin De Bruyne's arrival will be welcomed warmly by Manchester City because he can definitely help strengthen the club and we just have to wait for Erling Haaland to return to club so that their contribution will be increasingly feared by other clubs.
