The funniest part of all this is that Manchester City and Manchester United are very rich clubs, they can sign any player they want, while Nottingham Forest cannot afford that luxury, but even so Nottingham Forest is having better results compared to Manchester City and Manchester United, this shows how the most important thing in a team is to have a good coach, in the case of Manchester City and Manchester United they have good coaches, but they are having very bad luck.
I think it is very difficult for any coach to maintain the best performance of his squad when several important players in their main squad are injured. Manchester City lost several important players in defense, Rodri was also absent until the season was over, so it's natural that they lose their best form when others can't play as well.
Rico Lewis, Abdukodir Khusanov, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol are not a good defensive squad in my opinion. They play well in some games, then lose focus in others, so it's really no surprise when looking at the data that Manchester City have not had a strong defense this season. Manchester City can buy anyone, but who do they buy to strengthen their defence?
