Manchester City played very hard, although they took a two-goal lead in the second half, Foden and De Bruyne both recovered their form, Manchester City's prince Foden scored twice, and De Bruyne provided an assist. However, Manchester City took a two-goal lead before being met by Brentford's frenzied counterattack. Pep Guardiola came to a faint move again, replacing Kovacic with the aging Gundogan and wanted to strengthen the passing control, but after Manchester City's only back went down, the back line was immediately wiped out without back protection, which is an old problem for Manchester City, but Guardiola is still superstitious about Gundogan. There is also the most expensive striker in football, Haaland, who is seriously overrated, started the game and played the whole game, not only dumb, but also scored 6.4 points after the game, which is the lowest score among the starters + substitutes on the field, which is enough to show Haaland's sluggish state, Guardiola bet on Haaland, and selling Palmer and Alvarez is the beginning of Manchester City's decline. The offense didn't work, the defense pulled the hips, and Manchester City was held to a 2-2 draw away by Brentford's high-altitude bombing. Manchester City's two-game winning streak has been halted, and the Blues are struggling to fight for the top four this season, they are in dire need of a new striker, and Haaland's unbeatable main position needs a contender.
