Man City VS Liverpool: How Pep Guardiola can use the new weapon of Omar Marmoush to hurt the Premier League leaders | Football news
“Just the beginning.” The post Omar Marmoush on X, after his striking hat-trick against Newcastle last weekend, had multiple meanings. He announced his official arrival in the Premier League. But more than that, it became a symbol of the latest chapter of Manchester City. The latest rearrangement of Pep Guardiola.
Marmoush is intended for the club’s hierarchy as a player who could change immediately. Versatile forward to the best rivalry in Europe.
Even before his tower in Newcastle was 4-0-one of the most important individual performances of 2024/25, direct running and wise movement with late arrivals caused an abundance of problems during 3-1 through Chelsea.
His energy and dynamism were welcome, though a rare, source of joy in the middle of the mud of the Man City season. Their dramatic fall may have had a strong armed action in January window, but regardless of the way £ 60 million on Marmoush was rationalized, it looks like a smart job. This was not panic.
The 26-year-old, who has entered his top year, is one of the few players without physical exhaustion and mental scars that seem to be tortured by the rest of Guardiola’s champions. Marmoush looks fresh, with unused talent, capable of alleviating the burden and carrying it.
The attacker will be an obvious reason for the concern for the Arne groove while on Sunday prepares a Plan for the Liverpool trip to Etihad, live on Sky Sports. Concern for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Marmoush can dribble 1V1, use an instinctive combination game and a quick switch, run from outside or hug a touch line, and has already achieved a good working partnership with a Josko Guardiol on the left. City opportunities to pass short or long – or somewhere between – increased exponentially.
Michael Wimmer, one of the former Marmousha coaches in VFB Stuttgart, said Sky Sports earlier this season that the Egyptian international has exceptional “orientation skills”. What he thought was the ability to solve and adjust the problem, no matter how opposition teams were established. It can be played between lines, in tight areas or to use the space behind.
His flexibility is likely to be a factor that made him so attractive to Man City. Erling Haaland scored 19 goals in the Premier League this season, but has often reduced the isolated figure. Phil Foden, the shadow of his former self, scored at seven, but the burden was Haaland to wear. He needed help.
Meet the latest victory in Newcastle as a perfect example of a load. It was the first Premier League game this season in which the city did not acknowledge a single chance, while their expected goals (0.48) were their third worship in the campaign.
Marmoush recorded four shots and scored three, of xg worth 0.71. He was the most common (3) player in the match and demolished the very experienced Kieran Trippiera to Shreds, adding far more shades to the city game.
The diversity was obvious and in its completion, while the main master class from Nico Gonzalez helped stabilize and provide a platform from which it could be built.
How could all this help this Sunday? Well, PEP has now lagged behind the ability to solve the problem. City has cut its wings this year – due to the loss of the cornea, defense injuries and mental stress of relentless expectations – but the appearance of another Egyptian superstar striker is a saving line. Mo Salah may have to divide hers in the spotlight.
“Nothing is eternal,” PEP said on Wednesday after collapsing from the Champions League for 12 years. “The year is the worst.” But while their banging exit to Real Madrid will hurt, it could also act as a relief. This city team, so early in its latest evolution, has not won the European elite competition this season.
Why extend the procedure?
Haaland’s absence – an unused replacement in Bernabeu – she certainly accepted this fact.
But all hope is not lost in the Premier League. Because Christmas only Liverpool and Arsenal scored more points than Manchester City.
The rivalry may have less danger on this occasion, given that the hosts have long been out of the race with the title, but that is still important. The city would enjoy the recess of the recess into the chances of the League leader to steal its crown, as well as undermine any proposal to have Liverpool in Slot, in the Suparnica dominance in the last five or six years.
The red are in the middle of the energy running – five games in two weeks.
Their last eight league matches may have seen them extend to 22, but they lowered eight points in the process.
They deservedly held them to draw at home to fight the Man UTD at their first 2025, they came from behind to secure a point in Nottingham Forest, he twice scored in a time of stops to beat Brentford , and last time they ran Bournemouth and then Wolves weekend, in the second half where they failed to have a single shot – Wolves had 10.
Is the reluctance of rotating the grooves to rotate with him? Alexander-Arnold is one of 10 players who started seven or more than eight league matches since the turn of the year. His reluctance to defend 1V1 is also a problem with respect to Marmoush’s direct and ability to draw offenses.
Youri Tielemans was achieved by Aston Villa Equalist 2-2 Surt with Liverpool on Wednesday Losing Alexander-Arnold, while Lucas raised wandered freely down the left channel full of back before putting the ball toward Ollie Watkins to reach a second. He atoned by hitting Niveler, but soon he was hooked.
It is an opportunity that Marmoush should want to take advantage of the advantage.
PEP is unwavering to remain a real man who will lead Manchester City into this new era. He continues to remind reporters that “we have” achieved something unique in our country and in Europe “. And now with the right combination of time, patience and recruitment, it is unwavering that it can again.
Marmoush will no doubt prove a huge advantage in the process. As it helps here and now, it will be carefully viewed on Sunday. Shall we see the latest turn in this fascinating story?
