First of all, Tottenham weren't the favourites in that game and secondly Manchester city lost due to pep Guardiola's tactical approach which later turned out to be a disaster during the game, the first goal that Manchester city conceded was due to a wrong offside trap from the Manchester city's defensive set up and the second goal came as a result of the blunder committed by the goal keeper and besides I didn't expect players like Doku, Bernardo Silver and Rodri to be on the bench in such a crucial game and that's why I blame the coach's tactics.
Manchester City were favorites to win their home match, but their starting lineup was too weak in several areas to achieve their goal. Pep Guardiola appeared to underestimate Tottenham's strengths by fielding several players who should have been on the bench. It was his fault and he should accept the defeat humbly.
Rodri, Bernardo, Foden or Doku should be in the starting lineup against Tottenham - but I don't understand why they're all on the bench and Pep is likely to choose other players to do the difficult job. Pep needs to evaluate his team's strengths to be able to compete closely at the top of the table in the first half of the season - otherwise, Liverpool and Arsenal will surely widen the gap. Honestly, I want Liverpool to be ahead of everyone else - but it's only the beginning of the season for all the teams competing.
