The Manchester city we know is no longer the one we are seeing now losing two consecutive games at a row is not a good result at all for a team as Manchester city. There inconsistency Started last season when rodri got injured and Have not maintained form till now which is getting fans confused and curious to ask what the problem could be for a team as Manchester city, with there spending in the transfer window this season. I think its the best time for pep guadiola to change his pattern of play because all teams have mastered that game Pattern and have developed a suitable game plan to withstand such pressure.
Manchester City looks weaker now actually but truth be told, Brighton really overpowered them with excessive fitness and tactics especially after the four changes which improved the tempo of the game in their favor. Their attacks were more clinical and I've noticed that Manchester City doesn't cross the ball for nodding often thereby making a mess of Haaland's height which should be an obvious advantage.
The results of the match would come as a shock to Guardiola, he needs to improve his team's fitness and technicality. I feel City is lacking holding midfielders. Rodrigo isn't yet as strong as he used to be and he needs support at the midfield but gets none and that's why it leaks. Brighton exploited that leak a lot today and overpowered Manchester City on several occasions, they really deserve today's victory from their second half performance.
