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.
