And City are considering a lot of goals too.

Yeah, I mean, it depends, because if your front four recovers the ball high, then you've got the control behind.

Nunes is a great carrier of the ball, so is O'Reilly, to be fair, as former midfielder.

So I think it can work, but it's a very thin line, and certainly without Rodri, it's far more difficult.

I don't want to blame Nico Gonzalez, because he's...

It's not just all on him.

He's just not very good compared to Rodri.

So when he's there, you see the difference than when Rodri is there.

And the problem is Rodri can't last 90 minutes every three days.

No, he can't last 90 minutes full stop anyway, as we saw against Chelsea.

So it's difficult for them.

It'd be easier when Rodri's back fully fit, if or when that is.

But for now, I think there are too many just kind of pieces missing in this jigsaw for it to work really well.

But Semenyo is a massive piece.

And once he's there, he will help them for that, for sure.

Because it felt like a transition season anyway.

Last season was the bad one and they kind of got away with it because they finished strongly like they always do.

This always felt maybe a bit of a transition also because Pep wanted to change things and have this team evolving, which is fine, also because he's on his way out.

So you're already preparing the post-Guardiola era.

And yeah, I mean, I guess Semenyo brings you such a great option.
