I don't think the match between Manchester City and Liverpool was intense from the start, If that were the case then maybe we would have seen something better from Manchester City. Moreover it was very easy for all of us to predict this match because we have seen in many matches that Manchester City Football Club's defense was not good. Maybe that team didn't even have the right confidence because they recently lost matches against Real Madrid. While watching that match, it seemed like Manchester City might have shown something better if Erling Haaland had played. Everyone may be impressed by the way Liverpool is performing at the moment.
I don't understand what Pep Guardiola is doing with his system and the lineup he is implementing, again Pep Guardiola is making changes during crucial matches. If we talk about the course of the match, it is clear that City is much more dominant in the game. But unfortunately in the defense sector they are very weak, while the front line is unable to make very good finishes when they have opportunities and chances. They have a total of 16 shots, 5 shots on target but do not have a single big chance. Pep rotated his players in this match, Foden played as a center forward, while in the midfield and wings several players exchanged positions. IMO, I don't agree if City doesn't have confidence, especially after losing to Real Madrid. Just see if there are any changes made by Pep Guardiola, especially Haaland's status is in doubt. Pep did not use the system and lineup like when City defeated Newcastle, Omar Marmoush on the right wing, Foden playmaker. Even though Pep can duet Marmoush and Foden in the front line, the rest are De Bruyne, Silva and others. Well, maybe the situation could have been different, and the match could have ended in a draw or a win for City. But the fact is that City did lose, and Liverpool are getting closer to the Premier League trophy this season.
