Pep is trying, he's having a bad season and he's trying well managing it. His only problem was that while he was in his prime performance, he didn't seek out for Rodri's replacement knowing fully well he's the pivot of his play. Now injured, nobody could fit in and he had no secondary strategy to make up for Rodri's absence.
Not only the midfield that lost its creativity, the back line is also considered less solid in maintaining the defense. Currently with the arrival of Khusanov and Reis, Manchester City's back line has improved slightly, but not the midfield.
expecting City to win that match. From my prediction, it's either a draw, or Nottingham wins. They're in a very good form to withstand Manchester city in all ramification, so I'm looking forward to City dropping to the 5th position temporarily if Chelsea succeeds in winning Leicester City.
Lately, Nottingham Forest has started to lose its consistency, they have failed in 3 consecutive matches. Where they had to lose to Fulham and Newcastle, while when facing Arsenal they were only able to get a draw. However, even so, in this match Nottingham Forest will appear as the host, and I also regret that the biggest possibility of this match will end with a draw, and both teams will share points in this match.
