Are City a better all round team without Haaland?

Very clever @op

Some might say....

I was thinking at one point that Bernardo seems to get more involved when Kev is on the bench.

We are definitely a different team, but come a Champions league Final, i know who would be the first name on my team sheet.

Edit, actually he'd be second, Rodri would be first, take note Pep...

I think that is (or at least was) the case with Gundogan too.

I don't think so. I think we have fucked about recently with the formation, playing too many centre backs and players out of position. In a 4 - 3 - 3, or 4 - 2 - 3. - 1 and with our best players in their correct position. We will be absolutely devastating.

One thing I will say, I think we would be even better if we had got Kane, rather than Haaland.

Kane wouldn't have had the pens he's had were he wearing a sky blue shirt, and he wouldn't be ahead of Haaland's tally!

More that Chelsea were bang average today - one of the worst away performances I've seen.

Today and against Forest we seemed to play with a little more freedom? Haaland and Alvarez were superb against Forest. I thought we were great today but Chelsea were white. In a big game I’d want Haaland in the team.

No , the best we have played this season was the first half against utd.
2nd best half was the first half tonight v Chelsea.
So id say its 1-1 so far.

I think Kane is a better all round player. Hes got a better touch, better technique, better in the air and just as good a finisher. He's not got the physical attributes or brute force Erling has, but I think Kane would have been the perfect fit for us.

I can only imagine the uproar if Erling was dropped vs rags
