Manchester City is top of the Premier League after 10 matches with a record of 9 wins, 1 draw, 35 goals and only conceded 6 goals. They are the team with the best start in the history of the tournament and everything seems to show no signs of stopping.
The highlight of Man City's playing style, like last year, is still the destructive power of the attack. Aguero and Sterling each have 7 goals, Jesus and Sane have 6 goals. Meanwhile, in the back line, the duo David Silva and De Bruyne have both "scored the net" 6 times. Those unknown numbers lie as evidence that the Citizens' attack is operating effectively in all positions.
That efficiency comes from the performance of each individual but cannot be denied, the mark that Coach Pep Guardiola left is huge. After last season's lack of steam at important moments, Pep understood that the club's only weakness was that the squad did not have depth, leading to too many players being exhausted in all fronts.
Therefore, the Spanish strategist decided to add depth to the squad and not "set it on the road" like a series of " bloody exchanges" at other clubs. Man City is no different from last year in terms of playing style when still operating the familiar 4-3-3 formation, but now, in each position, they always ensure the highest level of satisfaction.
If Aguero is injured or tired, Sane, Sterling or Jesus can immediately play deep into the top position in attack and vice versa. Pep's good thing this year is shown in the fact that he forced his players to break his own safety barrier (playing only 1 position). Thanks to that, Man City always ensures the best physical condition in each spearhead when taking the field.
The same thing happened in midfield and defence. The names Pep brought to the Etihad may not be A-class stars, but just need to solve the problem of rotation and physical fitness, everything is proving that what Pep did is right.
The recent 3-2 win over West Brom in round 10 only left a few errors in the defense. If they can improve this soon, the "Green Man" will be an even more formidable opponent for all teams in the title race this season.
