Im not mentioning de bruyne caused by he will out for months, rodri will become the only hope owned by manchester city. His power really needed by the club at this moment. Losing him gave very big impact to the performance of manchester city.
I hope de bruyn will be back later but pep shall have focused into the how to build a proper attack without rodri and kdb. Many people have criticized how manchester city is declining so hard after the club was losing haaland and rodri.
In fact, these players are always contributing a lot in any season under city's shirt. No doubt if losing them all made great impact to the manchester city.
Pep has been lining up some players from another club to be recruited as backup once they will be out. Pep needs to make sure the replacement will have same quality as them. That's why dani olmo already targeted by pep at this moment.
There are also many clubs aiming to get him from leipzig. I hope pep will do something to save city.
Losing De Bruyne indeed have an impact for Manchester City performance in Premier league and it proven Haaland performance looks decline when Manchester City playing without De Bruyne but in this competition i am sure Manchester City will be qualified with champion group status
Losing Kevin De Bruyne has not been able to restore Manchester City's performance to 100%, but the presence of Rodri can make almost an 80% difference so far. Manchester City's next opponent is Young Boys and I think this will be an easy match, but the thing that is quite disturbing is that Haaland has not consistently scored goals for Manchester City in the last 2 Champions League matches.
