Pep struggled to find his best 11, as a result he did not settle for one formation. used 8 different formations throughout the season but their most common formation was a 433 which consisted of the following colour: a left centre-back due to the company's recurring injuries and wanted a left-footed player at left centre-back in addition to silver and Epona took the launch of eight free kicks with both advancing to all 10 positions with the ball and defending when necessary when building up Fernandinho fell between the central defenders and Guardiola is happy to allow stones or necklace to advance to midfield in the setup collar was used here because of his ability to hit a long change to Sterling with speed and accuracy, as he demonstrated by completing the most long balls of any outfielder at 4.2 per game.
Both were over 30 years old and had lost their athleticism, so to give these traditional wingers with Alito falling out of favor for Saarne and Sterling on the right, the full-backs moved centrally towards the opposing wing and Guardiola had faith in his wing as when one and one to encourage quick switches to wide areas, but the four positioning also freed up Brona and Silver to move forward to support the attack, meaning the

city

used three to five allowing options in each phase from here Silva and De Puerta would join together. Easily outscoring their respective winger, the winners were rarely a goal threat to break the position, so both finished with less than 10 goals and assists.
A problem arose midway through the season. Agüero over the seasons had become more of a ford of the penalty area that he mainly waited there. the end, but pep needed to be more able to go deeper to create space in the box and press when defending, but it just didn't work and for a while gabriel jesus came in to achieve this goal before j zeus vs barcelona de bruyne had started as the center Ford and Guerra were benched, showing that De Guerra was not giving the energy he needed, but after Jesús was injured, Agüero came back into the fight, the team's position meant that this center was protected , allowing them to stop counterattacks and However, they prayed quite effectively in the preparation of Clichy and Sonia, and these positions often slowed down the game as they were not very good with the ball, also, playing neck as a center back did not give them the necessary defensive solidity and did not suffer when their brothers' form completely dissipated and often gave a much-needed boost to their ball-playing ability, so they conceded ten more goals than expected, but overall City improved with Compared to Pellegrini's last season in many aspects, more concessions, less heli, more possession, more passes and more, but the poor finishing did it. he chased them throughout the season, meaning they were well short of expected points.
Agüero in particular was three goals short of his losing a thriller to Monica where defensive weaknesses were exposed and finishing third in the league despite having the highest expected points in the league. It was a decent first season, but there was still mounting pressure. Guardiola was accused of not adapting. to the team for example when he played with a Highline against Leicester even though he played directly into the hands of the VAR DS and pip also questioned the mentality of his team when he said that I think it is one of the things we need to improve, we have to react when we are in bad times and continue doing what we normally do to solve their main problems Pett visited the transfer market Bernardo Edison Walker entered Danilo mandiant Laporte our victory Clichy rookie Sonia Zabaleta Milito halacha necklace and more now, making them the 60th youngest team in the league In the first two games of the new season, the new full baths were able to dominate the wings, so they changed to 532.
This also allowed Agüero and Jay Zeus to appear, but after the initial injury from Mindy, Walker committed to the 4-3-3. a right back and Paloma adapted to become a left back Edison was also crucial, he was comfortable playing the ball short, he was also a good shot blocker, plus his long range of kicks meant that if opponents tried to press, I could play above. to the Fords or whether they dropped deep to cover this open space so that they accumulated the full bags were key to the preparation Delft would get into midfield, but Walker often moved to the right central defender position, which meant Antonia He can now remain in the central midfield position for Parabola's progression and became the true center of the team with his passes per game skyrocketing from 68 to 88.
Additionally, having Dolph as a natural central midfielder helped the pace of his development. , but Walker was allowed flexibility, we encourage him now. training him to know when to switch to the central defender and he went to push higher like a normal right back for the center again, Sylvan as a couple pushed high and now they dominated the half spaces from these slots, they could influence the opponent's central and full backs. The midfielders, if they were free, Silva sent precise passes to Sonmi and De Bruna was more likely to cross, but if the defenders closed them down on the wing, it was now possible to play to cross into the area.
Agüero has already gotten used to his new role. he often linked the tracked player into the defenders, which freed up Sterling and the SAR needed to be fed and crossed to the other for a touch. Sterling's improvement was rapid this season as Walker went wide, allowing him to play as an inside Ford as de Bruyne drew in defenders and was also able to overlap providing the cross. Sterling's offensive improvement under Guardiola has been tangible and a fouled Pellegrini pinned him down and forced him into an aerial game, but the Yola quad freed him up allowing him to attack his full back and his robe or more as shown.
Thanks to his increasing dribbling numbers, Pip has positioned him in high positions and given him instructions to attack the box. He needed two more shots per game in high-quality areas. This season he went from just being a winger to being more of an interior Ford on defense. They are pressing. The game was now strong and they would stop the attacks before they started by force on the opposition. For a long time, Edison will be ready to win any ball over the top, as a resort

tactics

, most of which were adjustments rather than massive changes. More often this season he began to reverse his wingers as in Chang, who came in at left back so that Checker could play higher and wider than difficult, allowing Sterling to be placed on the left while the webbing anchor gave the whip and Bernardo and Mara would often be on the other side, Walker was also able to overlap and generally this season the winners scored more, resulting in a higher performance.
However, a particularly interesting tactic was when he played Fernandina almost as a false centre-back against Arsenal, in the defensive phase he operated as a regular centre-back, however, in the poor, as Laporte was a left-back, Fernandinho moved into midfield. and Beyond, while schwarber dropped in to form a back three Fernandina and kunda one has double pivots and was then able to skillfully maintain possession and overload the midfield.
