The draw between Manchester City and Brentford was like a vivid "team problem observation class" for us. It's clear that you're short of midfielders, but watching the game confirms this. Gundogan's appearance clearly shows the team's problems, which seem unsolvable. Bringing in two central defenders was a smart move, but the midfield's shortcomings are too obvious! However, the central defenders also seem unsure of what to do, clearly not fully recovered. The new central defender has a chance to be on the squad for the next game, so Nunes won't have to play as a fullback. This player is naturally an attacking player but now needs to play as a right-back, which is a poor choice under the circumstances of no other options. A turning point came when Gundogan came off the bench; suddenly, the defense deflated like a punctured ball, riddled with problems. But this isn't Gundogan's fault; he returned to be Rodri's substitute, previously alongside Kovacic and Rodri, but now he's Kovacic's substitute, which is troublesome. After all, when he was younger, he didn't perform well as a single holding midfielder at City. At his age now, you can't expect much from him. But the question is, will Manchester City bring in a holding midfielder? There's currently no news about any holding midfielders, only news of two central defenders arriving soon and a forward coming. That means there's still half the time left, yet it seems the team hasn't brought in a new midfielder. There's also no news of any midfield transfers, which is strange. Have they not…

Facing a promising situation with a two-goal lead, Manchester City unexpectedly collapsed in the final moments! Although they didn't lose, being scored twice by their opponents turned three points into one, which indeed made Manchester City fans particularly angry. Until the last moment, Brentford still had multiple chances to score a decisive goal. If it weren't for Ake's miraculous performance in front of the goal, it would have been a struggle for Manchester City to even get a point. Not winning means that the team is one step further away from their hopes of making a comeback and winning the title. After the game, Guardiola found goalkeeper Ortga and reprimanded him emotionally and intensely. It is clear that Guardiola believes Ortga bears significant responsibility for the late-game conceded goals. Looking back at this conceded goal, it is obvious that Brentford, in an attempt to equalize the score, had fully pressed forward at this point. At this time, there were significant issues with Manchester City's defensive positioning; the players were not close enough to each other, and there was insufficient pressure on the ball carrier. Mentally, it seemed they did not take it seriously enough. Moreover, several attacking players still wanted to counterattack and thus did not fully retreat to defend. Lewis Potter evaded the defense and easily sent the ball into the penalty area, where Norgaard headed the ball past Akangi to score. This goal was indeed beautiful, and with its close proximity and considerable power, it was difficult for the goalkeeper to make a save, let alone Ortga who…
