At the start of the 27th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 defeat to Leeds United was indeed morale-boosting, because the team lost 0-1 away to Burnley after taking Manchester City, so this round of big wins can also avoid the embarrassment of losing points in two consecutive games. The team is currently ranked 7th in the two rounds of the minor rounds, and if the two rounds of make-up matches are won, they can replace Manchester United in fourth place, so the subsequent supplementary rounds cannot be lost. Manchester United's 0-0 home draw with Watford in this round is indeed disappointing, C Ronaldo hit the upright is also a regret, Man lenovo to return to the winning streak mode is not easy. In fact, Manchester United and Tottenham hotspur are unstable, the Red Devils have now drawn twice, and then the league away to Manchester City will open the Devil's schedule, for the team can refuse to lose consecutively can be accepted.
Manchester United's subsequent fixtures were against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Leicester City, Everton, Norwich and Arsenal, five of which were strong conversations, and it was indeed difficult for the team to achieve a winning streak in a two-sided battle. Manchester City's 1-0 away win over Everton this morning was also thrilling, and it was also lucky to be able to kill the opponent at the end, because the team was weak on the offensive end and constantly missed opportunities, which would also cast a shadow on the subsequent fixtures.
Although Everton have drawn the big team several times this season, it is difficult to take advantage of manchester City from the previous confrontations, the team is indeed very tenacious in this game, Lampard's team has done a good job in targeting, and also provides some references for other teams. Manchester City shot 13 times and 8 shots on target in the whole game, and Everton's 6 shots on goal and 2 shots on target were also very threatening. Manchester City's corner kicks are 4-2, and the possession rate of 67% is absolutely dominant, but the offensive efficiency is very low, which also requires the reflection of Guardiola and Manchester City players.
Manchester City's opponents who have won a small 1-goal victory this season are Chelsea, Wolves, Brentford and Everton, these teams are very restrictive for Manchester City, but also limit the opponent's offensive end, and the final loss of points is also because of City's good luck, the core players are in the second half to save, the luck component is also relatively high. Premier League teams generally have less away records than home, and Manchester City is no exception. The team's home record so far this season is 16 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and the away record is 14 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so it is not easy to win away from home, and the hero of this game, Foden, has scored three consecutive away goals, and the team has also won consecutively in the last three away games, which also shows that The key to Foden is the first in the team.
Foden scored the game Manchester City laughed to the end, it can also be said that this player is also the team's lucky star, the last three away opponents are Norwich, Everton, Portugal Sport, this game Foden is in the 81st minute to penetrate the opponent's goal, this time the goal is also equivalent to locking the win. Because tomorrow morning is the League Cup final Liverpool vs Chelsea, although Klopp's side will have to postpone this round of matches, so Manchester City can also be at the top of the table for a longer time.
It is worth mentioning that Ederson had some mistakes in the last game, and the game also almost saved the ball in the opening stage, when It was Gordon's shot that caused the Manchester City Goalkeeper to save unsteadily, so the first goalkeeper was also a hidden worry for the team, and if he made another mistake in the subsequent Manchester derby, the opponent may win this key battle. Due to defensive limitations, Stones and De Bruyne tried many long-range shots, but unfortunately failed to score, and Foden scored the winning goal at the end.
According to the personal data of the core players of this game, Foden shot 3 times and 2 shots on target, scored 1 goal, in addition to 3 passes, 3 fouls and 1 foul, and the success rate of 44 passes was 79.55%. De Bruyne shot all 2 times on target, passed 2 threatening balls, 3 passes, 2 steals, 1 clearance, 3 fouls, and a success rate of 76.32% on 39 passes. Sterling played 77 minutes of zero shots, passing 1 threatening ball, 1 steal, 1 foul, and 29 passes with a 79.31% success rate. It can be seen that Sterling, as an Everton nemesis, has encountered strict defense, and the performance of this game is indeed sluggish, so it is inevitable to be replaced. The manchester City's most scoring player in the league is Sterling, who scored 10 goals and ranked 5th on the top scorers list, with two penalties. Mahrez scored eight goals, De Bruyne and Forden and Bernardo all scored seven, and none of the three scored penalties, so the four were similar in offensive efficiency, but Foden's key in the away game was in place.
There were also some penalties in this game that were questioned because Rodri's handball referee did not award a penalty, of course, some people thought that this was because Richard Lison was already offside, so handball should not be awarded, and Manchester City did not profit from it. Foden's worth of more than 120 million yuan has also been questioned, but the performance of this game proves that Guardiola has developed a future star for the team, and Foden will have more efficient performances in the following seasons.
Gundogan also played 77 minutes of this game, he only passed 1 threatening ball, 2 passes, 3 steals, 1 foul, and the performance was not the best. Knowing The recent matches of Manchester City can be found that in the number of wins, De Bruyne, Bernardo and Rodri have joined forces, and the team has won more easily, but the performance of Gundogan after the start of the last two games has not been good, so the team has also been affected, and there will be a small victory of 1 goal in this game.
