Man City continues to be quite unpredictable. Sometimes, as usual, they play very well, but sometimes, they don't live up to expectations. Like the results of their first two matches, losses to Tottenham and even to Brighton. As for the lineup, well, at least they still have Haaland as a goal-scoring machine, but not only that, they also need strong defenders, but yeah... as we know right now...
At least when it comes to Haaland, even with the Norwegian national team, he's truly incredible. Most recently, in the 11-1 victory over Moldova, Haaland scored five goals—incredible. And I'm sure at Man City, he'll remain as productive as usual.
To be fair they are rebuilding, so of course the yare going to take some time to get used to each other. Just as an example, the latest game they had was against Brighton, and they won the UCL against Inter (and won treble that year) only 2 years ago, that's it, just 2 years ago.
And you know how many players are the same in both of those games? Just 4. That's right, they had Stones, Rodri, Silva and Haaland and everyone else in the entire team changed, and many left since then. So that should tell you how it is quite obvious they are not going to be easily winning every game. That 4 players could make some changes but that doesn't mean we are going to get the result that we want, it's going to be inconsistent for them.
