If you flash back to last season when De Bruyne and Haaland had injury, the performance of the team dropped and they had difficulties winning their matches, until De Bruyne came back from injury.
It’s obvious that the main problem Manchester city are having this season is injury problem. Manchester city performance has dropped, due to some of they their key players that are on injury. De bruyne is a player which whenever he is on injury, Haaland’s performance is always dropping during that period, we all know Haaland to be a goal scoring machine, mostly De Bruyne is the player which is always feeding Haaland with passes, so whenever De Bruyne is on injury, Haaland is always finding it difficult to perform well in most matches.
De Bruyne's influence is very big for Man City, however, he is Man City's key playman, his absence plus several other top players also makes Man City's condition quite worse, coupled with the other row, Rodri. The injuries experienced by Man City players continue, fortunately at this time they do not occur simultaneously, so Pep should still be able to make the club stronger during their match in the EPL later.
let's see in the next match if their performance still looks like this, then there will be a big change in Manchester City Club. The official seems to conducting an evaluation about the club. they are preparing huge funds to recruit another player to fill up the injured player's position. there are several players who are being targeted such as Ederson from Atalanta and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace to fill the center-field and defensive midfielder position. both positions are an important part of the pep scheme, if vulnerable then Manchester City performance will also decrease like today.
