Crystal Palace vs Manchester City, Glasner discharged a 3421 formation, with a starting value of 263 million euros;Pep Guardiola discharged a 4231 formation, Haaland burst forward, De Bruyne behind him, Nunes and Savinho on both sides, Gundogan and B partner in the back, Lewis, Gvardiol, Dias, Walker formed a back four, Ortega was in goal, and the starting value was 634 million euros。
In this game, all the players of Manchester City looked very tired, and there was no one in the substitute lineup, and Crystal Palace played very sharply at home, and scored in 4 minutes. Although Nunes assisted Haaland's header to equalize, the two played very hard, Nunes kicked the left winger with his right foot and did not have the ability to go down, and he kept passing back after taking the ball, and the offensive rhythm was very slow; Although Haaland took a header, it was still difficult to hide the shortcomings of the Nordic center forward's inability to head the ball and his back. City's attack mainly relied on Kevin De Bruyne's passes, but neither his physical condition nor his best condition was optimal. Manchester City came from behind twice and equalised twice, and Lewis scored his first Premier League goal of the season, but who committed a foul in a confrontation with Chalobah? The referee sent Lewis off with a second yellow card, which sparked a huge controversy. There is an unstoppable force in Manchester City's title defence this season, and Walker has been linked to two goals conceded, the first being Walker's delay and failing to cause the opponent to be offside, and the second being that Walker's defence is completely leaky. If Walker is not removed, Manchester City will not be able to prosper. In the end, 10-man Manchester City 2-2 Crystal Palace, suffering 6 away games without a win!
Full game,Manchester City managed 68 per cent possession and 12 shots from both sides with four of them on target and three for Crystal Palace。 It can be seen that Manchester City's high possession rate is meaningless, the center has no back and fulcrum, and the attack is very stretched.
