In my view, on the contrary, Man City is a team that can be said to be successful in the Premier League this season, as is the Arsenal team, I can't wait to see the continuation of the Man City vs. Liverpool next October, although many football fans say a tough test for Man City but I am sure the Man City team will do their best.

You know Liverpool might loose to small clubs, basically that's what those clubs are there for to make you feel the impact of the EPL and decide who can win the trophy,
But when two Big teams face their self no team should be underated, Liverpool can definitely win that match, know it seems that Man City is stronger and so, but conclusions shouldn't be made yet, Manchester City is a strong club I agree but on that Liverpool match I consider the both of them equal.

Haaland is really important for Manchester City. Because he is a big force for Manchester City and we have seen before that Haaland's goal scoring ability has made the difference in many matches. However, I will not give all the credit for Manchester City's consecutive wins to just one player because that would exclude the rest of the changes in the team. Especially the contribution of the new coach, their style of play, the balance of the midfield and the contribution of other players are also important.

Arsenal's loss to Brighton is definitely a bad result. But at least I will not judge them based on this one match. Because we have already seen big teams sometimes play matches where nothing seems right.

yeah i think so.
Haaland's approach is sth like i won't budge an inch in open play but i'll sprint like crazy off the ball. i think he's a more complete striker than that and i hope he drops this mindset.

I also like the style in wich Haaland is playing  but I don't like that this style is gradually fading over time ^{at least this was observed last season when his contribution to goals scored was decreasing as the season approached its end}. Besides, the tactic of playing through Haaland and letting him do the rest fails at critical moments, so in my view, Manchester City needs to have more flexible tactics.

Haaland is in his bright seasons at the moment I think his performance in the last game against Denmark where he played for Norway and scored 2 scores which earned him a new record in the nations League. Am anticipating his next play against Portugal where I hope that Ronaldo will likely play too.
he has also been outstanding in the premier League where he has been able to win the golden boot for 3 times in 4 seasons. He has been very outstanding in the premier League.

Pep Gaurdiola is a wise man, I guess all thses were committed under his watch as manager, though it's something that involves the club and its management not the manager.
They're guilty of all these count charge, let's see if they will be strip off some of the trophies they won during these period or get relegated to division 1. I know even if they punished city at last, they will steal appeal their punishment.

These counts and allegations aren’t committed only under Pep, the allegations are from 2008-2018 since when the new chairman took charge.

Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City in 2016, it’s just his first two seasons that are alleged to be part of these financial breaches, so you can as well DYOR and stop guessing. Manchester City will appeal and right now no verdict has been given, I doubt they’ll be stripped of the trophies they’ve won during that period rather they might just face huge point deductions and heavy fines.

yeah me too. it’s fascinating sometimes how Haaland can score goals so effortlessly. watching him makes you feel like, even i could score that for example Mbappe scores a lot too, but not as much as Haaland and he looks more technical.
anyway scoring easy goals is a mark of true mastery. His physicality is exceptional, he can explode forward and slip right past defenders. he also possesses a full package of attributes like top speed, acceleration and agility...

After a long time, finally regarding the allegations of violations by Man City, a decision has been made. One hundred and fifteen cases that were accused have been proven to have been committed by Man City, so the court determined that Man City is guilty. But there is not yet a clear punishment regarding the violation, and it is still very open for Man City to file an appeal. In fact, the chairman Al Mubarak of Man City is very confident that they did not violate the rules and is ready to provide clear evidence regarding the accusations they have received. It is still not clear what punishment will be received, but will the law work fairly? Let's see how the appeal process and punishment will be if Man City is proven guilty.

I thought this particular issue has been resolved few seasons ago where they deducted a good number of points from Manchester city when they were leading the premier league table and they still manage to finish up well that season or is it another team they did that to? If they should take away some points from Manchester city this season it will really affect them mentally even though they are heading the league now because they are struggling to adapt to the new Coach pattern.
