I agree, Haaland gets injured we are f****, especially if KdB keeps breaking apart every 2-games. We would cope with the false-9 system, provided everyone is fit and firing at all cylinders, unfortunately Rodri is out till end of the season.
Gyokeres won’t come to City just to sit on the bench and wait for Haaland to get injured. The only way he joins is if Pep guarantees him game time by adjusting the system to play him and Haaland as double 9s, meaning City would play with two strikers up top in most games. Will Pep want that? I don’t know.
We had an opportunity to bring in Kyogo or Griezmann in the summer window—two players who would not complain about game time, players who would easily fit our style of play. Griezmann, especially, could play as a 9, 10, 11, or 8 and is a high-scoring, technically gifted player with a great assist record.
Instead we chose to be the net spend champions, rather than destroy the premier league by strengthening our squad and staying ahead of the pack!
I feel everything is on hold until this bloody 115 charges case is over. We may be bullish over our innocence but it doesn't mean to say we won't lose, or be punished for parts of it. If we are completely innocent or as good as then I expect us to rebuild big.
I doubt the rivals, their fans and the premier league would want that. A rebuild would guarantee another 10-years of dominance, more so if Pep keeps extending!If we are completely innocent or as good as then I expect us to rebuild big.

They can cry all they like. If we have no restrictions save the normal rules they can't stop us.

Should?He does what Haaland should do. Uses his physical presence and makes a nuisance of himself.
Should?
It wasn't a slight on Haaland. More on how we use him.
He's used by Pep - with success - to purely be on the end of chances.
I wouldn't mind seeing us pump the ball up to him when he's isolated with a defender every now and then. He's got the strength and cleverness in his play/link-up that we could use it when we're camped out a bit.
We did it a few teams against Brighton and it got us up the pitch and countering their defence at pace. Would be especially beneficial when we have Doku/Savinho on the wings with their pace.
