Haaland isn't the biggest aerial threat. Being tall doesn't mean you are good in aerial duels. I've watched a few Crystal Palace matches this season. They're weak on corners. If you can exploit that right, you'll be be able to score against them.

Honestly, City would have to change the way they play. This 2-3-5 against a team so fast on the breaks like Crystal Palace is a huge no. I would use a 3-2-5, with Alvarez instead of Haaland. Also, huge focus on corners. Right now, I'm inclined to believe it's gonna be a draw.

Play a very organized positional football with very limited resources. Improve players. Overperform. He never managed a top club, but so far he seems to have the credentials to do so. I would choose him over Luis Enrique or Pochettino, but not Ten Hag or Nagelsmann. We would be very lucky if...

Luis Enrique isn't a bad manager, but he has too bad of a decision making to be Pep's successor. His performance as a manager in 2016-17 Barcelona is easily one of the worst I have saw in my life. The guy was destroyed over and over again. Also, in his entire run as Barcelona manager, I don't...

Something that needs to be addressed - City's defensive system is really poor. Not all the time, but when we have a bad game upfront, the defense fell apart heavily. Concede 3 goals easily. That's the key reason why City has failed in the Champions League. To make a comparison: 2018-19...

Honestly, I believe City will win. I think Newcastle offensive system still is subpar, but their defensive game is really good. So I think they will eventually concede against us and will not have the offensive power to try a better result. My biggest worry is about Haaland goalscoring. He needs...

Here the biggest problem was timing. Man City went to this window with 4 obvious needs. In order of relevance - (1) Signing a proper striker. Because we also sold Jesus, we signed two. OK (2) Get at least one new fullback. Because we also sold Zinchenko, we need at least two. (3) Sign a new...

I'm of the opinion that City should just have paid for Cucurella. 2022-23 is a crucial season in City's zeitgeist. It might be Pep's last season, but also the one where the team has some of the best opportunities to seize two HUGE victories: The three-peat of the Premier League and the UCL...

No one is paying 100 mi on Bernardo Silva. 65 + add ons? I guess that's possible. The biggest problem is to get his replacement. With all honesty, I only see two players worth it on the market - (1) Barella and (2) Verratti. Now, Inter Milan wouldn't sell Barella so easily when there's no...
