I get that, but when we are discussing Manchester City, they should never depend on one or two injuries in a way that destroys the whole season if that happens. Yes it can happen and if Messi was to get injured back when he played for Barcelona, it literally meant that the game is going to be completely different. But they should still be able to compensate for these incidents on a level that the season is still not that much at risk. It does change the trajectory of a season, but it shouldn't to the extent that it is game over as soon as an important player misses a lot of games.
What you said is absolutely right because a team like Manchester City should be able to find a balance of power more so that they can still be strong when one or two key players are injured. Because if that is the only thing that can destroy them from a good position to a bad position, of course it would be a shame because they should be fighting for the title again this season. The next game for Manchester City is at home to Tottenham who are also in a bad shape at the moment, so Manchester City should be able to win at home without any excuses.
The problem of Manchester City is not only due to the injuries of some of their players but it is what I can say is fate, it happens to every team. There is no champion that reigns forever, you have to experience some moments of challenges so you re-strategize and come back stronger. Manchester City have had their own share of the struggling moment and I'm sure they will bounce back and face the fight ahead. I'm just worried that what is happening will not make Pep Guardiola leave the team because he is not too patient with failure.
