Well, this is the second defeat in 1 week of Man City's match. This is definitely not good. Indeed, Pep himself reasoned that because some players were injured, Man City could not optimize their game to win. and if some of the key players were not injured, then the chances of them winning would be greater. Is that just an excuse by Pep?
But, like what Haalland reacted with his 5 words meaningfully:
Source: The message from @ErlingHaalandA Bad day at the office and Bournemouth deserved to score more in the first half.
The match showcased missed opportunities and defensive lapses, ultimately leading to defeat. Key players struggled to find form, and City failed to capitalize on chances created, City played against themself instead of the opponent.
Overall, A disappointing performance that needs addressing moving forward.
However, Halland's 5-word reaction shows how confident they are in winning another trophy... can't wait to see them get back there.
