How do we conquer the Low Block?

City has had problems breaking down low block this season without DeBruyne. I think we have players to break them down in the squad. I think we need more intelligence in the moves we make. 

 
Broja​

Sterling  Nkunku  Palmer​

Enzo  Caicedo​

Give the ball to Enzo and let him get the ball forward quickly to Sterling or Palmer and let Nkunku focus on getting in the box to help the striker.

More shots from outside the box. Just bypass the 2 rows of 4/5 by shooting over them.

Can't really disagree with that, but just absolutely hate those stupid "sensational" thumbnails.

A shot from there is no way near 55m lol it'd have to be from before the halfway line to get near that. 

 
One thing the squad can learn is don’t play like England last night! There were some similarities, wingers cutting in on their favoured foot instead of taking on fullbacks crossing or cutting in to play a simple pass for on coming support. 
 

Watching England has been really bad this international window

Worst i've seen in a while, got to be demoralising for the squad to see players like Henderson/Rashford/Maguire playing every game with zero form to back it up.

Guéhi making Maguire - and Tomori for that matter - look very second-rate.

 
To conquer the low block, Pochettino should focus on quick ball movement, positional rotation, and utilizing width to stretch the opposition. Players like Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo can help dictate the tempo from midfield, while wingers like Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke should hug the touchline to create space. Adding a creative playmaker like Ivan Toney in January could also help unlock tight defenses by offering an aerial threat and linking play with the forward line.
