Manchester City have sold key players in their squad instead they were so confident in their squad that they did not feel the need to bring any new players to the club. If they had brought better quality players to Manchester City instead of selling players, maybe Manchester City's performance would not be so bad now. Manchester City was always in the best position in these two competitions, Premier League and Champions League, but now Manchester City is not able to show good performance in these two competitions. We all have an idea about Manchester United but this Manchester United defeated Manchester City in the last match. The way Manchester City are performing at the moment is what is in store for them.
You are right friend, in essence the poor performance experienced by Manchester City at the moment is caused by Pep's overconfidence. So without realizing it, the great squad they had in the previous season, currently can't do much in the English league or in the UCL. It's not because Manchester City's current players are weak, but in essence the other teams that compete with Manchester City have become stronger. That's why Manchester City has been rendered helpless this season. Apart from that, what is most regrettable is that in the last summer transfer market, Manchester sold several potential players that it had, for example Julian Alvarez. I personally was quite surprised when I found out that Julian Alvarez had been sold by Manchester City to Atletico Madrid. Even though Julian Alvarez is a truly great player and has enormous potential. But Pep seems to think that Julian Alvarez is not important, because maybe Pep feels that Manchester City still has Halland.
However, in reality, currently Halland is playing less than optimally at Manchester City. Meanwhile, Julian Alvarez can be said to have played quite well at Atletico Madrid. Therefore, I personally am really surprised by this decision made by Pep. Maybe now Pep is aware of the mistake he made, but still this will not have a significant effect if for example Pep starts improving Manchester City again at this time. Because in my personal opinion Pep seems to be having a little difficulty breaking the deadlock that Manchester City currently has. Because in essence, the style of play created by Pep at Manchester City seems to have now been read by the opposing team. So in every match Manchester City really has quite a difficult time.
