Yes!

Thought taking De Bruyne off for a LB was a strange one, but there you go.

Whilst I think Grealish and Haaland are fantastic players, I do think they've both really disrupted City's fluidity.

Grealish has to really be in control in the final third so that means he's always going to take more touches and cut inside. Bernardo and David Silva were more dynamic in the sense they can cut in and go outside with ease, and of course play 1 touch better.

Haaland isn't as dynamic for this system. Aguero and Jesus could run the channels, do a lot of work on the edge of the penalty area. Haaland wants it mostly centrally and to run in behind. Maybe they'll adapt over time to become a different team but I think those two are where they really have minor issues.

Newcastle have still done amazingly this year. This patch is jut a reminder of how well Howe has done with a still patchy squad.

They'll spend a metric fuckton this summer on attack. Chelsea and Liverpool are unlikely to be this bad next season.

Throw in United's resurgence and Arsenal's Ascension, and we need to get our act together fucking fast or we'll be left behind.
