Fluctuations in team performance are a natural thing for every team in any league, without exception the EPL, including Manchester City, which is the most feared team in the EPL at the moment, last season also Manchester City, even though Erling Haaland always had his moments, they were not spared. competing with Arsenal and the battle for the top of the standings was always very, very fierce last season.
If you pay close attention, it's normal, no matter how strong a team is, they will experience something like this and they won't be able to stand at the top every week, because there are problems that happen to these teams. Manchester City also went really crazy last season at the end of the season and that's where they got a turning point in winning.
I have said in previous posts, going up and down is a common thing that happens to every team, including Manchester City. Evidently, they suffered two defeats in this competition. even though last season, City was a team that was highly respected by its opponents. But what happened to City didn't just happen naturally. What is certain is that the departure of several of their core players in the transfer window last summer had quite an impact on the team as a whole. even though in reality, Pep Guardiola's squad is still a strong team for its opponents.
It's just that currently, I have a different view, if Pep Guardiola is trying to find the best formula for his team's squad. he often experiments by changing patterns and systems. plus, rotate his players as he sees fit. In fact, if Pep wants his team to be consistent, he can play the system that has become his mainstay.
Let's just see, in the last few matches, Jack Grealish has rarely been played. Is this a coincidence, I don't think so. But Pep is planning something with his squad. Their current target is not only focused on the Premier League, but how to defend the Champions League title in this season.
Speaking of Arsenal, the London Cannon have been rivals last season. Now, Arteta has strengthened his ammunition with new arrivals. It was proven that Arsenal was able to beat City in two different competitions. Now the rankings of these two teams are very close, plus they have the same points. In the following weeks, changes in the standings may change every week.
Spurs are no exception, they could get minor results or even suffer defeat.
