Have you ever noticed some other weak points in the Manchester City team, such as the ones that have been enjoyed by the Manchester City team without Haaland? If Haaland is absent from the Manchester City team's squad, they lose by the biggest margin, the current defenders of the Manchester City team are quite hardworking but need more experienced players.
But the attack department is not that effective. So the defenders and the coach and the attack department of the Manchester City team need to be more careful. If every player in the whole team is experienced, then they will be able to perform more advantageously this season.
Not only because of Haaland's absence but indeed Manchester City's overall performance this season is very bad, they don't have any significant problems but sometimes a team has a bad phase and that is what Manchester City is experiencing right now.
There is nothing wrong but indeed for this season Manchester City is just having problems and I think Pep knows how to rebuild this team better next season, and I also won't be too excessive in responding to Manchester City's slump this season because I think it's natural for a team that sometimes experiences a bad phase.
The problem is that for now Mancehster City, although their performance is still very good, they are still too dependent on a few players, which makes it difficult for them to make a breakthrough when these players are closed in terms of movement on the field.
The real example is for Haaland because until now (since a few seasons ago) they have been too dependent on Haaland for scoring goals and the midfield is too charged with KDB and Rodri so that when some of these players have problems then Mancehster City will get the impact and this season it is clearly seen when KDB whose age is no longer young especially with previous injuries makes him lose momentum, Rodri who has to rest for a long time because of ACL and Haaland's movement which is always closely guarded makes Mancehster City's performance erratic.
In addition, the regeneration of the players carried out simultaneously, especially for the defense, made Manchester City also increasingly lose its way.
