He will find another way , Foden and Bernardo hardly played centrally last year, this year they probably will or we will buy somebody else that does, or maybe a winger to play a bit differently . We don’t know yet if that will be less effective than Gundogan and KDB or not. Find it a bit odd that City fans think Foden and Bernardo might not be creative enough behind Haaland, or that Pep can’t figure it out.no one....Pep will have to find another way
We cant go back to the false 9 as we wont/cant drop Haaland so others will have to really step up - we had kDB and Gundo last year..we have suddenly lost both and we havent replaced them and have 2 weeks to do so if we are going to usethe transfer window.....issue is you cant replace KDB and Kovacic as good as he is is not a replacement for Gundo as he is has different talents but creativity and goal scoring upto now are not them
Foden and bernardo aren't creative enough, that is the problem! If people think we can loose gundo, mahrez and kdb and not think this is a problem then they are living another planet, we still have a good team but signings are a mustHe will find another way , Foden and Bernardo hardly played centrally last year, this year they probably will or we will buy somebody else that does, or maybe a winger to play a bit differently .

Haaland looked isolated at times last season to be honest, his numbers were astonishing with that in mind. I agree about tomorrow evening - not expecting us to be fluid or connect with him as he'd want.The concern for me is that Haaland has looked completely isolated in two out of our 3 games so far against decent oppostion..I fully expect the same to happen vs Newcastle and him to be feeding off of scraps......
The effect of not having a playmaker in the middle could be worse than we thing as it will have a knock on effect...Though if one person can work it out its Pep

I’ve got tomorrow’s game down as 1-1 in my Super 6. To be fair that’s a decent result after Wednesday’s exertions. A few of our lads looked beat at the end of the game. City’s early season form always leaves a lot to be desired. We’ve lost a few senior players. We have injuries. I’d take a draw. A win would be an amazing result. But as you say, panic ye not. Our strong suit is mid / late season. You know, when the prizes are handed out. We’re not often December, January,February champions.Haaland looked isolated at times last season to be honest, his numbers were astonishing with that in mind.

Pep will sort us, but as usual we'll start slow while he works out what's best.
Pep will need the club to be brave though mate and at this point in the transfer window go out of their comfort zone if required? Say we could get Wirtz for £75-85m would they do it?
