After starting well, City were undone on the counter and overplayed at the back. A familiar story in recent times. Here is the latest Pep Guardiola reaction as Spurs, and Thomas Frank, once again got the better of him.

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.

It is perhaps unwise to make grand conclusions about any team two games into their season, but when Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur meet on Saturday, the teams will be telling a tale of two very different rebuilds.
