The season is just starting but with the way Manchester city played in their first 3 matches, there is no way Manchester City can dominate the season, if you compare Manchester city performance with other teams performance, you will see that Manchester city performance is just so poor, and there is no way Manchester city will be able to win the premier league this season.
That’s the perfect truth about Manchester City. With the way a lot of the teams started this season with a powerful squad and better performances, it proves that Manchester City’s performances are very low compared to the other teams. As you said, it’s like when the other teams were prepared for the season, they were not around to do the same thing. If not, their performance is not supposed to be done poorly right from now when the season has never gone far.
If Manchester city doesn’t improve there performance, then I will say Manchester city ending the season in top 4 might be something they will find difficult this season, and I will say even pep Guardiola doesn’t know how he will fix current Manchester city problem, because everything started since last season, and Guardiola doesn’t have perfect solution to Manchester city problem yet.
I think it will be even better for them if they end up in the top 4, because with the way their performances are going on currently, if they continue in that way, they can find it very difficult to even end up in the top 4. This their problem, which was supposed to be solved since before this season started, but their coach just locked off without bringing the best solution for the team. That’s why they continue from where they stopped last season with the same problems.
