The City manager hopes for a much-improved performance from his team. This is because his team has only managed 3 shots on target out of 14. They also do not have the option of star striker Erling Haaland on the team. However, with the team, he will back his players to come from behind and win the game they are expected to.

At the moment, it looks like the FA will certainly look into this incident. This is not the first time a Manchester City player or staff is in trouble. His star player, Erling Haaland, also faced troubles after an argument.

Erling Haaland also argued with the referee, like his manager, at the end of the game against Tottenham

The game between Manchester City and Tottenham ended after a 3-3 exciting draw. However, the game made the news for all the wrong reasons. Jack Grealish was through on goal after a pass from Haaland. But referee Simon Hooper pulled the game back for a foul. This resulted in City players, especially Erling Haaland, showing their frustrations on the referee.

Haaland continued his argument even after the game. However, the FA charged Manchester City as the whole team, not the star striker alone. It is not yet known whether the organization will decide to take further action on Haaland only. Pep Guardiola also defended him, saying: “He is a fantastic player. His frustration is for the last action, not for the game.”

Over the years, I've dedicated myself to understanding the intricate details of the game, both on and off the field. What's fascinating is that my beloved club is Newcastle United, and I've been on a rollercoaster journey with them, from their triumphant promotion from the second tier to the recent takeover and even their remarkable qualification for the Champions League last season.
