In the second round of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City dropped two valuable points away against Monaco. Although Pep Guardiola's men were ahead thanks to two goals from Erling Haaland, they couldn't block Monaco, who had converted a penalty in the final minutes, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
After the match, Manchester City fans shared their thoughts. We present to your attention the opinions of football fans cited by bbc.com.
Gene:
"Many favorable opportunities have been missed. Nico O'Reilly missed the pass to the front line several times. John Stones is not a right-back. He's great in the center of defense and needs to play more in this position."
"There are situations that will affect the outcome of the meeting. In particular, we need to strengthen the defense, and only Abdukodir Khusanov can help us in this."
Alan:
City played in their own style. He tried to attack and immediately retreat. Our players acted as if they were training and often conceded ordinary goals."
Brian:
"It was clear that City needed a third goal in the second half. But the players began to think about how to hold onto the victory without any additional efforts. Why Bernardo Silva is still playing in the starting lineup is a new puzzle for all of us."
Jonathan:
"We had to resolve this meeting in our favor. Despite the controversial decisions of the referee, in such games it is necessary to get more points. We shouldn't give the opponent a chance by weakening."
Steve:
"Everyone played weakly, except for Erling Haaland. The team lacked enthusiasm, intensity, and energy, and no one wanted to take responsibility."
Jeremy Doku is out of action, and it's clear Rodri isn't at his usual level. Maybe it's about physical condition?
It is necessary to introduce a change to the team. We need players like Abduqodir Husanov, Umar Marmush, and Ryan Sherki.
Abdukodir Khusanov, who has perfectly covered Manchester City's most vulnerable spot - the right wing defense - in four matches, was unable to participate in the match in France due to his injury.
Football fans and experts are waiting for what strategic changes "Manchester City" will make to solve new problems and achieve better results in future tournaments.
