Arguments
Manchester Town are still figuring out everything that was expected of them, but Pep Guardiola’s side don’t look as dominant as they have in previous years, as evidenced by Sunday’s 2-1 comeback win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. It may be due to several factors, including the absence of Rodri, who tore his ACL a generation ago, and the fatigue of match congestion for an aging team, but the margins of victory are increasingly narrow and the Performances are more imperfect than average.
That means that the ruthless city should be underestimated, since they still come out on top more often than not. The group’s power lies in its intensity, which Guardiola could highlight Wednesday as he navigates any other busy schedule. Phil Foden and Jack Grealish, for example, could play bigger roles than those coming off the bench on Sunday, although Guardiola will most likely stick with Erling Haaland as he enjoys another high-goal season. for the English champions. .
