The Premier League season is just getting started. Don't allow Manchester City's performance against Tottenham Hotspur make you to believe Manchester City will not compete in the champions League this season. The Pep Guardiola that I know will not allow what happened at Manchester City last season happen to them this season. Since Manchester City signed new players this season, it will take time for Manchester City to play with their maximum strength, but I am optimistic Manchester City will perform well in their upcoming matches, and they are one of my favourites to win the champions League trophy this season..
You know Guardiola is not in his prime anymore, at this point he is actually trying so hard not to allow the things around him interfere with his job and so it has somehow also reflected in his performance so seeing that Manchester City is starting off this shaky, is for me not really surprising but I agree they are going to improve along the line with the new set of players they were able to acquire so far.
