City Rotation: Three Changes vs. Wolves - Was It Enough?

So, the big question everyone's been asking is, "Was City's rotation enough against Wolves?" It felt like a risky move, especially after that intense Champions League match against Leipzig. But with the FA Cup looming, Guardiola had to make some changes.

The three changes were all pretty significant: Stones out, Akanji in; Alvarez replaced Haaland; and Mahrez coming in for Foden. Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly?

The good news is, City won! A 3-0 victory, albeit a bit more stressful than we'd all hoped. Alvarez looked lively, getting that goal with a sneaky finish. He brought a bit of energy to the game that was missing from Haaland.

The bad news? Wolves weren't afraid of City, and that was a little scary! They put in a solid performance, even if they didn't exactly destroy the Citizens. The defensive line seemed a bit shaky at times, and I'm not sure if that's because of the changes or just a lack of focus.

But, the ugly? Man, that first half was pretty rough! It was like everyone was still asleep! City looked tired, slow, and almost...bored. The second half was better, but it wasn't the usual dominating performance we're accustomed to.

So, Was It Worth It?

In the end, it was probably the right decision for Pep. City got the win, which is all that really matters. But it certainly wasn't the prettiest performance, and you can't help but wonder if the changes were too drastic, especially considering the Wolves squad was no joke.

The next few matches will be crucial to see how City performs with this rotation plan, and whether it can consistently deliver those expected dominating performances. Until then, let's just hope for more goals and a lot less drama. Go City!
