Statistically yes but Manchester City don't have a defender of Virgil van Dijk or Trent Alexander-Arnold's quality. Is having the right holding midfielder(s) really *that* important?
When you are on live please expose the myth that city have an injury crisis. Like against arsenal Liverpool have more players out than them . So don't let them spin the lazy narrative that city have got loads of injuries
Absolutely no way to tell from these numbers that "the issues are quite similar". Some numbers which in absolute terms are pretty similar, but in relative terms some of them quite far apart, and no references showing f.ex. if both are far from "normal" levels. Poor use of stats.

A small drop off in the intensity of the out of possession play makes a huge difference. Especially with the style of play.
There aren’t many managers who can effectively rebuild their own teams.
Only one who imo was immensely successful at it was Sir Alex Ferguson.
