Manchester City won a tough victory over Everton, the opponent was a defensive line error to give Manchester City the opportunity to score, this game Manchester City still has a lot of attacking opportunities, but the efficiency of the goal is very low. However, Manchester City used its own continuous attack to finally score a goal, at least it seems to be three points ahead of Liverpool, which is already good.
The defender line still changed its mind and performed OK
Stones has once again become a right-back, the performance can be, although there is no speed, but at least it looks very stable, the combination of Díaz and Laporte, this season has actually been unstable, Cancello is still performing well, the defender line is actually the key now Is Cancello, because he does have good passing ability, but also has his own speed. Guardiola really transformed successfully, of course, without Cancelo, this team has one less key player, which is very troublesome, the team full-back is actually a little too dependent on the main force now.
The midfield is finally playing normally
Rodri's performance is normal, this is a good thing, after all, Manchester City is such a stable midfielder for Rodri, Fernandinho should not be in such a good state of the game now, the next key game is to see Rodri's performance, if the performance is very poor, then the problem is very troublesome. The key to this team's midfield is Rodri, and the combination of De Bruyne and Gundogan can only be said to be average, but it can be used. The current Manchester City midfield actually does not have the depth before, mainly because the depth of the back has declined, which is very troublesome.
The front wasting opportunities, but seized the opportunity of the opponent's mistakes
There were still plenty of chances to score goals from the front, but not many to take advantage of, and Foden eventually took advantage of his opponent's mistakes to complete the goal. This is still a use of no front line of thought, scoring is really difficult, Sterling this performance is very poor, in fact, from the game point of view, Manchester City's current front problem is troublesome, the key game wants to have goals, can only rely on luck, this can really explain the problem, the two players who came off the bench, in fact, are also forwards, but also can temporarily play the center of the player, but the problem also comes, this is really not a way to stabilize the goal.
Manchester City's next game challenge is intensive defense, if the opponent counterattacks and scores a goal, It is difficult for Manchester City to score two goals in many games, Guardiola looks like there is no way, the team now has no center forward players, when it is really relying on luck, last season there was still Aguero, at least some games can still score, this season looked at the bench, Drap, some of the recent games have not played their own players, this problem is very troublesome, if there is no accident, City will buy a centre-forward next, at least a good centre-forward. If you lose the championship this season, it is actually the reason why there is no center. Don't forget that there used to be at least a center like Aguero, and now there are none.
