In my opinion, the problem lately for Man City is the finishing, no player can do that right now, Haaland is having a hard time as a striker because there is no reliable passer behind him, because if the problem of ball possession and opportunities for Man City still dominates its opponents, then indeed in the transfer market later Pep must do something by bringing in several players to stabilize the strength of his squad so that it no longer experiences ups and downs in performance in the matches that will be played.
Manchester City clearly needs a figure who can link the midfield to the attack line well like Rodri. Rodri, even though he is a defensive midfielder, has made a really big contribution to Manchester City, and sometimes he is even able to help start attacks to become more organized. And after Rodri was injured we really saw Manchester City starting to lose balance. And I think this team really needs players who can bring balance back to this squad. Apart from that, Manchester City also has several injured defenders and their goalkeeper Ederson is also injured. so yeah this is a really difficult situation for Pep. But I am quite happy because in the last two matches Manchester City seems to have been able to improve their own situation and is starting to get better again.
Something good was shown by Manchester United when they managed to hold Liverpool to a draw. Because indeed holding Liverpool to a draw in their good game is not easy at all, but Manchester United can do it. This is what often happens to them, yes when they are more believed to lose, they can actually play better and manage to get points, but when on paper they can win, they actually lose. I think it's safe to say that a draw is a result that feels like a victory for Manchester United. Not to underestimate them, but the fact is that with what they are experiencing now, the result is quite satisfying.
