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.
Actually, it is quite natural to rely on the future of the club to the players because after all it is one of the tasks that must be carried out by the player but indeed I also quite agree with what you said because for now we can see that in the end, especially for this season Manchester City was completely destroyed because of several things that could not be forced.
They lost the initial monumentum when Rodri and KDB who played an active role in midfield were injured which made Haaland's productivity finally disrupted because he did not get good supply.
Now their spirit is slowly fading which makes the conditions a little troublesome for Manchester City because seeing from the conditions now the possibility of them fasting for the title this season is getting bigger especially since the Champions League is hopeless and the EPL is now just waiting for the time for them to give up.
Indeed, it is not a mistake, but it cannot be denied that for now we realize that Manchester City are too focused on a few players who make the situation a little worse for them such as some of the players I mentioned earlier.
This season should be a concern for Mancehster City because after all they are next season apart from having to try to improve the spirit of the players, they must also try to replace some players as Pep has planned at this time.
As for the ongoing season they should only be able to try as much as possible because for me the EPL trophy is currently lost for them even though the match still leaves a lot of matches that are still not done but the opportunity to get the trophy for Manchester City for me it is gone.
