Manchester City and Crystal Palace's match is flat, this game Manchester City has two goalposts, bad luck, but it can also show that the team does not have a center, it is really not good to attack, this game the team did not make a substitution adjustment, this problem is also very troublesome, but Manchester City can only look forward to Arsenal and Liverpool make-up matches, Arsenal won or drew with Liverpool, so that the team can still maintain a three-point lead, what is Manchester City in this game?
No problem with defenders? But without Díaz is also missing a set-piece goal point?
From the performance of the game, the back line performance is not too much of a problem, but Walker's state is average, and the team's center-back still feels that there is a lack of players who can help the team on set-pieces, which is also a very helpless thing, but the combination of Stones and Laporte does not seem to have any mistakes, in fact, the importance of Dias to Manchester City is not only defense, many times it is also the team's set-piece key, after all, it is tall, but also has a good head and grab point ability, which is the most lacking ability for Manchester City now. Cancelo's bad luck in this game, did not finish the goal, played a goalpost, this game the team was really unlucky, is almost a goal, so in the next game, the team may still need to play some set-pieces in the back line to see if they can score a header. But the team's performance in this game Walker is so general, and there is no substitution, which makes people helpless.
Good play in midfield? This time the midfielder can also see a problem
Manchester City in fact, in addition to Rodri, are goal points, but these two goal points are unstable, De Bruyne can play this time, Silva play in general, so that the team's two important forward transposition points can not score, this is also helpless, Rodri's performance can only be said to be average, he actually has long-range shooting ability, but also did not play out, these players feel a little tired, but the team's plan is 11 people to finish the game, will not look at the state of the players, in fact, this is the biggest problem for Manchester City now, The midfielders look like they are all goal points, but they are not the ones who can score steadily, I don't know if after this game, the team will change a way of thinking, such as letting the real center play? De Bruyne for this position for a player?
The problems with the front line persist
Mahrez was unlucky, if that goal was scored, there might not be so much criticism, Foden played the center badly, Glaris felt that the back games could not run, the team still insisted on using these players to play the whole field, even if Jesus played, change the rhythm of some games, the team may score goals in the back games, Sterling this is also no chance, do not know what Guardiola thinks a lot of times, obviously can be replaced, at least can guarantee some impact, but gave up. This is also an illustration of the team's center forward problem.
In fact, compared to another game, Real Madrid has Benzema, simply and directly in the second half to complete three goals, Manchester City is now lacking such a center player, so now the team does not have a center forward The problem has been exposed again, but it can only be so, this team is now too scattered, the good saying is that anyone can score, the bad statement is that the team has no stable goal points, and now Manchester City is 4 points ahead of Liverpool, and it may soon become 1 point, and the Premier League championship battle is really fierce.
