Manchester City fall in a huge downer to open the season at the Etihad. A match that saw some real poor performances from all across the board and several early misses that changed the tilt of the match. With it, the club needs to bounce back and trust the team Pep has and what changes he can make.

McInerney is inclined to agree with Guardiola and believes that the “biggest story” of Man City’s loss to Spurs is the fact that a squad comprised of a number of new signings and young players will need time to “find their rhythm and structure”.
