False nine....welcome back my dear friend, THIS IS THE WAY! Our defending up front without Haalaand is 90% more efficient and productive.
I would continue this formation for the rest of the month. It can only get better as the players go back to the old days. The only way to shift this kind of defence. Alvarez rescued his poor performance with that face block.
Gvardiol really good going forward and this pairing with Ake on the left works.
And Foden just keep proving he needs to be somewhere in the middle. Just abandon shifting him to the wings.
