Yeah, Man City have the best attack in the Premier League
Yeah, Manchester City's attack is starting to look pretty ridiculous. Haaland is a machine as always, Cherki is majestic, Semenyo is absolutely lethal and the depth behind them is enormous. There's Doku returning, Ndiaye offering another option, Enzo Fernandez and Foden contributing while young pl ayers like McAidoo and Samba are already making an impact. To put it simply...

Maresca’s Man City are nothing like I expected
