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.

Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as Thomas Frank got a huge win against Pep Guardiola’s error-strewn side. City have now lost seven of their last 13 Premier League games against Spurs, with Guardiola losing more games against them than any other side.

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.
