I am very annoyed by the performance of Manchester City players today. This is Manchester City's home match. And now Manchester City is behind by 3-0. We definitely do not expect such a terrible performance from a big team like City in a home match.

Guardiola is an experienced coach. I do not know why Guardiola is using attacking tactics today. City's top scorer Haaland is not in the squad. Manchester City should have played defensively and secured 1 point from the match. But City is playing attacking tactics, as a result Liverpool created opportunities to score from counterattacks.

It is very unreasonable to expect Pep Guardiola to use a defensive strategy in this match when he is aware that his team is very bad at defending. Manchester City lost some of their best players in defense, while the existing squad was not always able to play well. Only the attacking strategy gives them a better chance of winning points, while the defensive strategy is worse in my opinion.

Liverpool actually played with a defensive strategy and this can be seen from how they defended when Manchester City players built attacks. Liverpool have been really good so far in defense and I don't see Manchester City having a big chance of scoring if Liverpool's defensive concentration doesn't waver. Liverpool is almost certain to win this match, but Manchester City is still trying to find goals at home. The temporary score is still 0-2, not 0-3.
