It’s a twofold issue for City, in lacking a decent CB he’s resorted to playing their DM in there. As a result they have a makeshift CB and lose the protection in the middle of the park. Against teams with sufficient counterattacking quality they are very vulnerable.Exactly, especially when you lose intensity or a magnet like Dembele.
City can do it because they have so many options and so many players that are creative and good dribblers in tight spaces. Still, even they get caught out a lot and now that they miss quality CBs they are getting punished more.
Hopefully Jose will give us a nice balance
