Man City victory relies more on De Bruyne mate, and I will put it like this, no De Bruyne no Man City. You have forgotten so soon when De Bruyne was in injury, and the club was facing difficulties of winning matches. Haaland could not even score goals like he use to last season, because of the absence of De Bruyne. Did you watch the first watch that De Bruyne played after he came back from injury against Newcastle. He came from bench and scored the equalizing goal and also made an assist on the third goal which made City to win the match in injury time. The match ended 3-2
De Bruyne is the king of assists for Manchester City, but without De Bruyne Manchester City can also win. You probably need to get data on how many games Manchester City can win without De Bruyne this season rather than saying Manchester City is very dependent on winning with De Bruyne. Manchester City have won many games without De Bruyne, otherwise Manchester City would have been knocked out of the title race.
I admit that Manchester City is better if De Bruyne is in the squad, he can provide balance to the team's game but Manchester City is not just about De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola has learned how to play many important matches without De Bruyne, so without De Bruyne or with him Manchester City still sets targets according to plan.
