Erling Haaland is one of the most prolific footballers in the world and if for any reason he returns to the club, Manchester City are gonna be a complete team once again. Today against Newcastle, City were trailing to the home sides quick first half goals but immediately Kelvin De Bruyne who has been injured since the start of the season was introduced, he changed the result of the game by scoring the equalizer and assisting the winner. So if Haaland returns again to the club, Manchester City without doubt are gonna be tearing teams apart and probably repeat their feat of last season by winning another treble
Today, Manchester City won the match dramatically. Newcastle took a 2-1 lead in the first half where a beautiful goal scored by Bernardo Silva was answered by two goals by Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. Since then Manchester City have found it really difficult to penetrate Newcastle's tight and disciplined defence, but De Bruyne came on and made a difference.

Manchester City, who played without their best striker, basically created lots of goal and shot opportunities, but Newcastle's tight defense meant that Manchester City failed to score a goal. Manchester City's 2 additional goals were scored by De Bruyne and Oscar Bobb, but Manchester City had to pay dearly for this victory because their best goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, was injured at the start of the match.

Manchester City is very dependent on some key players if they don't have these players you can't expect to have good performances from this team anymore which is not good for a team like Manchester City at this level they are.
We saw a dramatic match between Manchester City and Newcastle and I think Manchester City was just lucky to have the player, Oscar Bobb score one goal in the last minute of the game and helped them win.


It is because of the effectiveness of those key players that made Manchester City management to sign them and if the club relies in the to be able to get good results, I don't think it's a bad idea. Gone are the days when teams win trophies because of total commitment of players because these days, a club have to be financial fit enough to sign quality and world class players to be able to win trophies and that's what Manchester City are actually doing.
In the match against Newcastle United tonight, Manchester City needed the brilliance and experience of Kelvin De Bruyne to grab all three points from that game and he came on in the second half to do that. You only get such performances from world class players.
