Their tactics are a bit like Liverpool, ie their defence plays high up the pitch. Therefore they can be susceptible to pacy forwards.

Their full backs do, in fact for the most part on Sunday they made a five in midfield with and without the ball.
Newcastle's three forwards outnumbered Man City's two defenders for a good part of the game because of the pace of St Maximin, fortunately Man City's quality showed through in the end.
Said the same thing to my m8 yesterday hope alls well with the lads
I didn't see that game but I generally like the way City play. The inverted full backs really helped them control possession in their game against West Ham.

Celtic have ‘been tracking’ Paris Saint-Germain attacking midfielder Edouard Michut ‘all summer’, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.
The highly-rated 19-year-old had been expected to depart his boyhood club in search of regular game time, but with deadline day fast approaching, it remains to be seen where he will be plying his trade in 2022/23.
What is the latest news involving Michut?
Last month, Sky Sports reported that Celtic are ‘targeting a deal’ for Michut and that the Glasgow giants are ‘preparing an offer’ in the region of £2 million (€2.5m) for him.
Yet PSG are believed to have informed interested parties they want around £5m for the France Under-19 international, with Sevilla, Nice and Toulouse also monitoring his situation.
The majority of the best teams in the world ie City, Liverpool, Madrid, Bayern play with a “normal” back 4. Chelsea, Spurs, PSG play with a back 3. Chelsea and Spurs are both teams who tend to play on the counter in big matches so it works well for them in those scenarios, we’ve seen how many times Spurs seemed to have turned City over in the last few years and obviously Chelsea’s CL win.
Have a look at how Xavi sets Barca up though, 3 at the back with 2 holding midfielders and essentially no wing backs then more of a “4” behind Lewandowski. The “wing backs” if you like are Dembele and Torres/Pedri, players who are very attacking and end up playing either side of the striker. Must have bollocks of steel setting up like that but I’m all for finding out how it goes because I think he’ll one of footballs great managers.

Dream signing for midfield
Mine is Joshua Kimmich but each to to their own...This one seems far fetched to me, unless it is another perm 4 year deal.
Where the f**k has that came from?
Clearly KLD has been reading my comment about scouting PSG and Monaco youth teams on FM hasn’t he..
We might have enquired but he would seem on the face of it out of our league at the minute, however KLD may have contacts over there that might give us a chance.
very very highly rated. Never seen him play, just always seen him linked and talked about alongside top clubs

More likely a loan according to the article
l'equips agree...
