Pretty weird how this city team struggled last season considering the firepower they have. Maresca's tactics are interesting and it seems to compliment Haaland pretty well. Not having a naturally progressive 10 feels weird to watch in a city side after the years of De Bruyne but Cherki is a great replacement, even if their playstyles are polarizingly different. They play a 3 in the back when with possession with Anderson dropping deep for build-up play which was really nice to watch. I do wonder though if Anderson had a heavier, more consistent press, would that stop City's momentum? Maybe Bouaddi's signing adds creativity to this City side and some relief to Anderson. There's a lot to love and expect from this young and talented City team. I do think an Enzo Fernandez or Angelo Stiller would do wonders for this team as I feel like it's missing a pivotal piece in the midfield.
