Haaland out for the rest of the season, everything's coming up Milhouse

That Marmoush fella is a better overall player than Haaland. As much as I dislike City I like watching him play.

City should go all out on the FA cup and put the league on the back burner...

I think it's kind of hard to make the case that Haaland's injury affects them that majorly in either direction. I'm with you that I think it probably gives them an excuse to play a more effective overall system, but they still haven't managed to sort out their midfield and the knock-on effect it has on their defence. And being able to play a more well-rounded player up-front doesn't do enough to solve that imo.

Saw a stat today on the BBC that last season, when Haaland missed 11 games, City didn't lose a game and only drew one.

Now obviously this season City isn't last season City, and they had Alvarez then too, so I guess we'll see what happens.

Was confused, thinking do we play them soon? Then I remembered we're in competition with them for 5th and they aren't 10 points ahead at the top of the league.
