Probably Debruyne's final season at City will be the next one considering he said he may be leaving from the club following the end of his contract. This looks to be connected to the Pep's final season at Manchester City as well considering this is also pep's last season with manchester city.  Im expecting de bruyne to leave from macnhester city as well considering he has been there for a decade. It's time for him to try a new challenge in another league.De Bruyne and Pep Guardiola, who might be leaving the team after the current campaign, might be departing together.

Pep has also made hints that this is probably his last season with Manchester City. De Bruyne might so be choosing to leave the city after ten years there. De Bruyne should tackle a fresh challenge now.
De Bruyne made hints that the Saudi Pro League would be one of the offers he would consider. Since Debruyne might be contemplating Saudi Pro League as his next stop, this is good news for the league.

Good so far. De Bruyne must wrap up his last season with Manchester City quickly.

that's true, indeed Haaland is a player who is quite good for his position as an attack line, in fact I once thought that Haaland was a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimović as they have similarities in several forms, but it is true that Haaland has shortcomings with his ball control being still not good, but maybe he can get better in the future. Manchester City has players who are talented enough in every part so that they can be a good team in the season, even with the competition they often show the best with their performance, of course this is not only because of Haaland, but with other players who are just as good in their performance because of the team's performance. good will be seen from their performance not only with quality players.

I hope Manchester City can show their best game for the coming season, by providing competition to other teams, including by beating other big teams. but with the news that Pep Guardiola will leave them, I think that if that happens, Manchester City will still be good or even better or even experience a decline in performance.

These are all excuses, what's the difference between Erik Ten Hag and Eddie Howe then? Erik Ten Hag also played beautiful football in his first season for Manchester United but was able to win two trophies in his first two seasons and playing three finals. What more do you want from a coach like this, the foundation is clear but if he js backed then he will do well further.

Newcastle and Manchester United had bad seasons, faced Injuries and finished out of top four but they're only tackling Erik Ten Hag. The like of Jamie Carragher, Micheal Owen and Mike Phelan who open them stupid mouths to talk shiit bothers me, is it that they're doing this out of hate or what.

Manchester United also didn't use a good center back in that game. The talks of Karius are crap, I don't want to hear that anymore.. it's a failure for Eddie Howe.
The media has just been silent because he is a British man, they have always been sentimental in times like this completely.

One of the best teams in the English Premier League is Manchester City and Manchester City is the best team in the league so it is natural that they will recruit the best stars in the world to their club. As every star player dreams of playing for Real Madrid, those stars also have a second dream of performing for top clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool or Arsenal. Haaland is a powerful player and has great pace and finishing skills, skills that have taken him to another level in his career. 

The star player's performances were outstanding at all the other clubs he played for before joining Manchester City.  It was mainly because of his performance that he was brought to Manchester City and after coming to Manchester City, he did not disappoint the management at all as he performed well here as well.

The competition that occurs in the English league is not as easy as the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and also La Liga, because indeed the English League has a very competitive competition compared to the other leagues, so far it has often seen the mediocre team team succeed in beating big teams so far and that is why so far the English league has become the tightest league and even full of challenges for a football player,  Manchester City won the title this season but precisely with the fierce competition that exists, they have to ensure the championship trophy in the last match of the season and that we do not see it in other top European leagues other than the English League.

Erling Haalaand is one of the strikers who is indeed quite reliable in scoring goals, his contribution to the team can certainly be proven by his status as the top scorer this season, as a striker of course Haalaand has an important role in the Manchester City attack line so far, but if you say Manchester City won because of Haalaand of course you are wrong, Manchester City is a team that relies on teamwork so indeed we can't say if the title The championship won by Manchester City is absolutely because of Haalaand, because after all, all the players in the squad have a contribution and also an important role in helping Pep Guardiola win their championship trophy in a row.

I disagree with you, Haaland is the key player who helped Manchester City to win the Championship for both seasons, Haaland contributed to the club last season that helped Manchester City to win their treble, I think we could have seen Arsenal win the Premier League title since last season if weren't for the contribution Haaland made to Manchester City. However, Haaland has won the Premier League top scorer for his two seasons at the club, we believe that he couldn't have won it without the support of his teammates.

It's very bad to think that Haaland was responsible for Manchester City losing the FA Cup final against Manchester City, Haaland is the striker and he was meant to score goals, if you complain about Haaland, what are you going to say about Nunez? Who missed numerous chances for Liverpool to win their games. Haaland is the best striker in the Premier League at this point, last season Manchester City won a treble, they eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League and nobody praised him for his hard work, and this season they failed to beat Manchester United in the FA Cup and got eliminated by Real Madrid, I don't have to hold anyone responsible for it because football is unpredictable.

If Haaland decides to leave Manchester City, I don't think they will be able to top the Premier League table, he has contributed to the club since last season, and I believe that Guardiola appreciates his hard work.

Premier league is not easy,and getting regular goals in the league is so difficult,this is because the moment the defenders have known that you are the highest goal scorer,their attention will be on only you,And you won't be able to do anything extra ordinary in that match.Haaland came to premier league,and took the league by storm.He scored the highest number of goals any player in the history of England ever scored.He was so dominate that premier league defenders took it upon themselves to try to stop him.They couldn't stop him from winning the golden boot,but they stopped him from scoring upto 30 goals.If I'm not making mistakes,he got 27 goals.

This statistics about Erling haaland is very much  true not doubt, but that doesn't make him less effective as the point man of Manchester city, because in all this top matches being mentioned, he is actually starved of the desired service he is actually used too, and secondly, most opposition sees him as the player with the most goal threat in this Manchester city team, so they pay more attention to taking him out of the game, sometimes they even place two players on him, just to reduce the threat he poses, and that has help Manchester city in those matches somehow, because since the whole concentration is on him, it normally create chances for other players to get the goals, that's why I wouldn't judge him for not scoring in those games, because he is the brain behind those goals scored.

And even if he does nothing on that day, only his presence in the opposition goal, always make the opposition defenders occupied, they wouldn't have that freedom of moving up the pitch as they would have loved to, due to the presence of the beast of an attacker, Erling haaland.

Haaland is a very talented player. And Haaland has the ability to score a lot of goals. But I have seen Haaland's performance deteriorate in important matches. Haaland can't score in important matches. Alvarez's performance in important matches is better than Haaland's. Haaland is probably the main target of opposition players in important matches. This is why Haaland failed to perform well. Guardiola also knows well that the opposing defenders will target Haaland, so Guardiola changes his match strategy. And don't make match strategy based on Haaland. Maybe because of this, we see the deterioration of Haaland's performance in important matches.

Erling Haaland statistics in the final match were not very impressive, he seemed to lose his sharpness when Manchester City was struggling in an important match. He is not the only key player in Manchester City's success because every time the club he plays for is fighting for the title, he always misses out on scoring goals.

Following are Erling Haaland's statistics in the final:

• Community Shield Final 2022 vs Liverpool: 0 goals.
• Community Shield Final 2023 vs Arsenal: 0 goals.
• Champions League Final2023 vs Inter: 0 goals.
• UEFA Super Cup Final 2023 vs Sevilla: 0 goals.
• FA Cup Final 2023 vs Manchester United: 0 goals.
• FA Cup Final 2024 vs Manchester United: 0 goals.

Erling Haaland doesn’t even have anyone who can compete with him in the Premier League in terms of scoring goals, it looks Premier League wants to become a farmers' league where one team will be winning the title all the time and also have a player that will always be the highest goals, scorer of the league, for me Manchester City have turned premier league to farmers league because they always want to win the title all the time, but that’s not their fault, the premier league teams are the one that we suppose to blame for their poor performances most especially arsenal that use to disappoint themselves by giving Manchester City a chance to win the league every season.

I haven’t seen any team that will step up to stop Manchester City from winning next season's premier league title, Manchester City has become a team that wants to win the title all season and from looking at their performances they are still capable of winning the league again, Manchester City still have young players that are going to join the team and still win trophies for them, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea are just like a team that doesn’t know what to do next season because they are all confused about how they are going to win the league next season.

The Premier League is a league that is difficult to track who will stay at the top, because everyone plays very competitively, not only elite teams but mediocre teams also try hard to give the best to their fans, as happened yesterday with Manchester City being quite overwhelmed by facing Arsenal, they had to compete on the last point, even though in the end Man City managed to win the trophy, this proves that the EPL is very difficult to beat.

It cannot be denied that Haaland has a very important role in the Man City squad, he has managed to collect 27 goals this season and also 5 assists, as well as making himself the Premier League's top scorer and making himself a very difficult straiker for opposing defenders and the squad to block Man City also has good potential so it is easy for Pep to target the league trophy, because they have a good squad, and of course the club's good finances make everything feel safe at the moment.

Of course, if PL is still highly competitive consideirng it's a league with the biggest income. Refer to the revenue comparison with another league, PL is still leading the way as a league with the highest revenue. Though this information was collected a few years ago, we might speculate that revenue may have increased by 10% to 20% since then. The league with the highest income is still the PL and this is helping the club to buy expensive players that makes the competition even tougher.

Certainly, if the top club was always blowing a lot of money to win the league. You will get rich if you win the EPL. To strengthen their team, clubs are therefore spending a lot of money on players. In football, this is customary.

EPL is hence highly competitive. The only issue is that, like Manchester City, the priciest team in the league still rules. Just so you know, this club has the most income among the cities.

Erling Haaland is in the right team because Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola, was a team that was almost perfect in all games.
In the last two seasons, Haaland has been a goal machine but in the following seasons this will not necessarily continue when changes occur in the Manchester City squad. Haaland has not been proven as a top player when Pep is no longer the coach and KDB is experiencing a decline in his performance.
Proven to be a top player when he can help the team when everything changes.

EPL is tough because the elite and average club are competitive. Manchester City won the EPL title because Erling Haaland made good use of his goal scoring opportunities and also his teammates played a major role in game victories. Pep Guardiola arrange his strategy and every player played a role in accomplishing their targets, no one was left out. Erling Haaland is a top player and goal machine for Manchester City.

They are probably trying to say in general for Haaland. They are right about it as well. Haaland really messes up in big matches most of the time. You must have watched many examples in various competitions so far.

This doesn't mean Haaland is a bad player of course. He is still scoring like a machine. However he is criticized with that negative side of him recently and he will continue to be if he doesn't get better in big matches. Maybe you will say he doesn't get the ball very often in such matches. However he can still create a formula for that like helping his teammates create big goal opportunities. If he does that he is really going to be a complete forward. 

I do not think that it is the style that makes the changes, or the differences but more like talent. It doesn't matter if you have a big giant talented guy or a quick small talented guy, it is more about having players better than everyone else. Like if you ask me, Haaland is the best striker in all of premier league, which means that it doesn't matter what style or what type of player, if you can't get someone better than Haaland, then you can't expect any player to be as good as him.

This isn't just one position of City, like there is no midfield as good as Kevin De Bruyne neither, that dude is probably either the best or at least one of the best midfielders in the entire world. This is why I think it is quite obvious that they are doing fine.

There is no doubt that Haaland is a great finisher. But his ball control is not the best. And it definitely could be better. Of course, Manchester City is not a great team just because of him. Manchester City has a lot of other players who contribute a lot to the team. But every great team needs a good striker at the front to actually score the goals for them, Haaland is that guy. And he has been really good for the team as well. He has been so good at scoring that the opponent almost always had to take special precautions. That is another reason why the coach has also been able to play him as the bait player. While the opponent was concentrated on Haaland, other players were able to find holes in the opponent's defense.

So even though I said that Manchester City has not been the team that had everything done by Haaland, she has definitely been a very influential figure for the squad. He has also been very important for many matches for Manchester City that they were able to win

Small player? Always failed in final?
It is funny to see your comment, dude.
Do you conclude everything based on the FA Cup final only?
It is weird.  

You don't see that Haaland becomes the top scorer in EPL. Haaland has a big contribution to lead Man City winning EPL trophy. If he failed to help Man City winning FA Cup, it is not the responsibility of Haaland only. A striker can't play optimally if he doesn't get good support from the midfielders or defenders. A striker needs assists to score goals, Haaland is impossible to win the match with his own effort. I think it is the responsibility of the coach. Why you don't blame Pep Guardiola?  

He may be not lucky or he didn't get enough chances in the match. Haaland is just a human, he may not play with his best level in this season. So, he can fail in the FA Cup final and UCL quarter-final. I don't understand why you didn't give any respect for Haaland. Even if he already contributed a lot for Man City, you still can't see it. In my opinion, the weakness of Man City in this season is on their defense line. The defenders should be blamed for the bad performance.

It is the fact that Haaland could be the top scorer. It just proves that Haaland still can play well. If Man City failed to win many trophies, it is not caused by the bad performance of Haaland.

Haaland stats this season

I think Eddie Howe is excusable to keep his position as the manager, because Newcastle was having a biggest injuries issue that hindered them to maintain their performance throughout the season. It's fair to not blame the manager for the underperformances compared to the season before. I think it's good for football when a rich team don't solely depend on money to improve their team.

I think it was unlucky for Newcastle to lose against Manchester United in that final, because they had to play the game with Loris Karius as the goalkeeper due to the suspension of their first-choice goalkeeper and the ineligible of the second-choice goalkeeper as he was loanee from Manchester United. Finishing outside of the top four shouldn't be a failure for Newcastle this season with the circumstance of injuries, the ban on Tonali also took impact on the balance in midfield.
