City had 2, 3 good chances in first 25 mins or so but then it was terrible. Just lacked energy and creativity, KDB was their best player in those 15 mins. But like I said before: faster games ==> City struggle. Also they play Arsenal, Leicester, Chelsea and Liverpool in next six so this could be a tough, tough season. Anyway, Mendy+Ake+Ferran had maybe two good games in their City careers combined.

This is a whole new level of pressure for Graelish, britain's most expensive signing. He wont get away with a long inconsistent spell without adding value and impact to the team. The positive thing him is that he is working with Pep, but that could also negate his free roaming, creative playing style. Interesting to see how he will develop at City.

No complaints, we created feck all after 20 minutes, Spurs created a couple of good chances (assisted by us)

They'll beat the first two.

Chelsea and Liverpool will be the tough games, but Pep will probably bring KDB, that whole back four on the bench back, and possibly Kane in the XI. That's really the difference, he can afford to chop and change and no one questions him dropping £50m signings.

My wit's end
City's first XI = United's first XI
City's squad > United's squad
City's manager < United's manager
