The derby of Manchester is gonna be super relevant much more than ever, i mean the team who lose can see his caoch sacked, and yes im saying Guardiola can be in the tightrope, Amorim much more, i also think maybe Amorim is already sacked and they are only jsut waiting to this match to let him lose and hire a new caoch.
None of the manager will get sacked even if they lose, Manchester United are ready to actually give Amorim time as they still believe he is the right man for the job so even if the Manchester derby doesn’t go well he will be keeping his job. As for Pep I don’t know why people are even looking at the possibility of him getting sacked after derby is absurd because This Manchester city are not looking to like they will replace someone who is arguably the greatest manager ever, I think Pep will be giving more time in fact it will be until he walks away, so none of them will be getting sacked after the game regardless of the outcome of the game,
The problem Manchester City faces now is their flank, which I believe they can rectify to return to form. Their flank players aren't performing well because they're struggling to penetrate the opponent's defense and create scoring opportunities. Another problem Manchester City faces is in midfield, because despite the current midfielders performing well, the absence of Kevin De Bruyne is still being felt. This is likely why Erling Haaland is struggling to score goals, as De Bruyne has been crucial in setting him up for many of his goals. Even when Kevin De Bruyne was still at Manchester City, if he suffered a long-term injury, Haaland's scoring form used to low. And since Kevin De Bruyne left to Napoli, other midfielders haven't been able to match his level of performance.
I think you have actually highlighted the major problem in this Manchester city squad but if we analyze it more I will pick the midfield as the problem this club has faced. The midfield has been suffering from creativity even with the likes of Bernando Silva still in the squad, I think just like last season they will struggle more in matches without Rodri even after a brilliant start to the season Tijjani has been good enough to actually filled that spot for Rodri but they still lack Support.
As for wingers Pep made a huge mistake when he sold off his wingers and the replacement seriously have even be upto to their standard
