Tactics Vs Manchester City

GK: Nick Pope

LCB: Joe Gomez
RCB: Trent Alexander Arnold
CM: Bruno Fernandes
ST: Marcus Rashford

Formation: 2-1-1

Because Manchester City has a lot of playmakers such as David Silva and
Bernardo Silva, they will try to play quick incisive passes to penetrate the shape
of my team and try to make the striker run in behind the ball. Sadio Mane is
extremely good at runs, and this is why Joe Gomez will be man marking him as
Gomez has very good pace while tracking back. He recorded a high speed of
34.29km/h which already proves that he is capable of nullifying passes going
through in behind to Mane. Trent Alexander-Arnold will be given license to go
forward and join the attack as an extra man, so the formation will become a
1-2-1. This is because Trent’s passing is absolutely fantastic and he used to
play as a RW during his youth development. His key passing is extremely good
and these are backed up by statistics where he has registered 25 assists in the
past 2 premier league seasons, which is only bettered by Kevin De Bruyne. In
terms of defending counter attacks, Trent has a top speed of 34km/h which is
ideal for tracking back. Bruno Fernandes has registered 9 goals and 8 assists in
his first 13 PL appearances, along with Marcus Rashford who has 22 goals and
8 assists in all competitions this season. They both are fantastic goal threats.

Captain- Bruno Fernandes

Bruno was team Captain at Sporting Lisbon before his move to Manchester
United. However, this hasn’t stopped him from being a leader in the dressing
room and on the pitch as he motivates his teammates to have a stronger
mentality, and having the mentality of not giving up. He also teaches some
players when to make runs, how to look for passes and helps them on and off
the pitch.
