Even though in Manchester City's match against Nottingham, we can see that Manchester City made more attacks, but we can see that Nottingham has a defense that can be said to be better this season than Manchester City. So in the end the attacks built by Manchester City always failed. Manchester City also dominated in possession of the ball but they still failed to win. Because in the end one of the attacks built by Nottingham managed to penetrate Manchester City's defense. In terms of squad depth, Manchester City is actually even better. but yeah, Nottingham is better able to show their maximum strength than Manchester City this season. And yes, this is the worst season for Manchester City in the last few seasons.
Every team must have experienced a bad season and this season is Manchester City, it must be admitted that no matter how hard they try, they always end up losing, even though they control everything but they are always unlucky. Manchester City is currently unstable, they always get a draw in the last few matches, today they win, tomorrow they lose, and so on.
On the one hand I blame Pep Guardiola, he doesn't change his tactics. It is very easy for opponents to predict because he only passes, passes, and passes. Pep Guardiola should be aware and change his strategy, he doesn't always have to build attacks from below, to the middle, wings, or just with a triangle in front of the opponent's goal. Because this strategy is very easy for opponents to read, and he doesn't need to wait for next season to change it, in the remaining EPL matches he should have been able to change it so he could finish in the top four.
Maybe Pep Guardiola should change his style of play by changing his tactics to be more direct forward or break through to Haaland and let Haaland run and collide with his opponent, Haaland's character fits that kind of game pattern very well, just like Mbappe's character. This is what Real Madrid did and it worked. Currently Manchester City are in 5th place with a two-point gap from Chelsea, their chances of finishing in the top four are still wide open and they even have a chance to win the FA Cup.
