Same opponent. Different No.9 and different City.
Midweek it was Samba, then McAidoo. Neither threaten Brighton in the box. City's xG was about 0.76, Brighton's was about 1.80, the two goals came from Kovacic and Reis.
Today Haaland, Anderson and Dias are back. I think we should control first, hold the ball with threat, then attack. Don't trade control for a wing gamble like the Aït-Nouri half-time change.
This is not a replay of Wednesday. With Haaland and so many great midfielders, we should create more.
This is Premier League, the best league among top five leagues. We will prove we can win.

wtf... Hakimi is so great.
that free kick against Le Havre is really precise, and the curve is perfect.
i think he's the best RB in the world, he can contribute five G/A in a single match. though Nunes is also one of the best RBs, Hakimi's quality is on top of it.
@TouchlineX Yamal: kopa trophy winner 3-peat.... never won a single ballon d'or. even the ballon d'or winner last year wants him to win kopa trophy again....
