We can see the void of De bruyne in the City squad quite clearly. City have to extended the contract with de bruyne. It is a mystery to me why an experienced coach like Guardiola made the wrong decision to let De Bruyne go.
Many news outlets have reported that Man City has had its worst start since the 2004/2005 season. There is a history that teams that lose at Amex Stadium in the opening cup create a negative record, meaning they will not win the championship this season. Indeed, at the moment, I still see that Man City's condition is not yet stable. Tijane's arrival has not adequately replaced De Bruyne's role. However, Brighton is also a strong team. They have maintained their quality over the past few seasons. Therefore, I believe Manchester City still has a decent chance, though I think Liverpool's dominance will be difficult to overcome. They have made sensational transfers.
