Manchester City and a refused pass that laid bare their myriad problems

Manchester City and a refused pass that laid bare their myriad problems

Manchester City’s recent 1-1 draw with Everton highlighted the tensions and frustrations that are currently plaguing the team. Despite attempting an impressive 683 passes during the match, it was a crucial decision by Nathan Ake to refuse a pass that stood out as a missed opportunity.

As City’s attacking momentum started to build in the second half, with Erling Haaland even missing a penalty, the fans were getting restless. Ake’s decision to turn back instead of making a forward pass drew groans from the crowd, while Pep Guardiola urged for calm on the sidelines. The team eventually lost possession and missed out on a potential scoring opportunity, emphasizing their struggles with quick counter-attacks.

Throughout the game, City displayed moments of aggressive attacking play, particularly in the opening 15 minutes when they pushed both full-backs high up the pitch to overload Everton’s defense. However, after taking the lead, Guardiola opted to bring Rico Lewis back into a central role to maintain control and stability in their build-up play.

The reluctance to take risks and make direct forward runs was evident in City’s approach, as they often lacked movement and unpredictability in the final third. This has led to a decrease in overlapping runs and passes to find runners in-behind, making their attacking play more predictable and easier for opponents to defend against.

Despite dropping points in the title race, City missed an opportunity to rebuild confidence in front of goal by not being more ruthless in their approach against Everton. Embracing a more disruptive and aggressive style of play could have potentially led to a different outcome for Guardiola’s side.

Overall, City’s draw with Everton highlighted the need for a more dynamic and proactive approach in their attacking play. By taking more risks and being more assertive in their decision-making, City can overcome their current struggles and get back to winning ways in the Premier League.
