How to Beat Manchester City: The Ultimate Guide
1. The Parking Lot Defense
Park five defenders in the box and four just outside. Let City pass sideways 100 times—your defenders just need to stay awake (harder than it sounds). Forget they have one of the world’s best strikers, cause even city players don’t remember him.
2. The Useless Wingers Clause
• If it’s Bernardo and Grealish: relax, they aren’t beating anyone.
• If it’s Doku and Savinho: they might dribble past, but their final ball? Absolute trash.
3. Counterattack Roulette
Wait for City’s midfield to implode (it will). Launch a counter and score. Don’t worry about their defense(without dias) —it’s mostly decorative.
4. Rinse, Repeat, Pray
Keep doing this. They’ll eventually hand you a goal because even they get bored of their side passes.
That’s it. Tactical brilliance—no Guardiola required.

Don't blame one player, position, or manager.
As a lad from across the pond I won't preach. Soccer is like every other game. You need strategy, formation, offense, defense, special/set pieces, a lot of shit, and city are lacking. Lets give Rodri praise and wish him back on the field. Lets pray Kevin can get back to 100%fit. Lets hope Pep can have a day of rest. The older lads need to sit or step up. Or defense is only as good as the two lines of defense in front of it. Goalie is hogtied with no protection. Eddy is amazing but Ortega can be the answer if need be. End of rant.
