Those replacements rarely hit the ground running.City used to replace big players effortlessly.
Zabaleta, Kompany, Fernandinho, D.Silva, Agüero, etc.
But it feels like nobody has stepped up to replace Gündogan and KDB from the 22/23 and 23/24 seasons. Foden isn't influential enough these days. And Reijnders is a nearly player at the moment.
He did ,twiceDoku hasn't kept the ball once since he came on...yikes
