Yeah, I agree, it’s way too early to start doubting City just because they dropped points against Spurs. Even the best teams can slip up in the opening rounds — it doesn’t mean they’re suddenly weak. Pep’s system always relies on control, and they had that, but without sharp finishing their possession didn’t translate into goals.

I've always talked about City's attack. They're not reliable. Haaland and Marmosh are the only reliable attackers they have, and only one of them can play as a striker at once. Savio, Doku, Foden and even Silvar when he plays as a winger are not reliable. They need to find a way to make the wingers work if they want to be competitive this season.
It's crazy that Rodri is still the best player in the team when he is on the pitch despite being injured for so long.

I won't read too much into today's loss because Tottenham weren't that bad, but Manchester City need to step up if they don't want to repeat last season's performance. It's a long season, so there is a lot of time, but they need to get their affairs in other on the pitch before its too late.
