Pep Guardiola: Manchester City have to improve with each game

Callum Wilson, who scored the victor in Bournemouth’s 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion, was dropped from Howe’s starting line-up to make way for Jack Wilshere in a five-man midfield, and Howe admitted the Arsenal loanee had a tough afternoon.

“The Champions League is so demanding in the physical condition but especially in the head so to come back again is not easy”.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe admitted Manchester City were “a level above” his side after losing 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium, .

The midfielder joined City in June and is now witnessing first-hand the talent of Guardiola, who frequently thwarted Klopp and Dortmund’s Bundesliga ambitions during his time in charge of Bayern Munich.

Manchester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, says he is improving under new manager, Pep Guardiola.

There’s also intelligence behind the excellence.

The 45-year-old, however, was quick to point out that City’s superb start to the season does not make them favourites to win all the tournaments they are contesting, including the Champions Trophy, EPL, FA Cup and League Cup.

The English Premier League might just be four weeks old, but the season has already taken up shape very well. “Messi can sit alone in the table, it’s not allowed anyone else, but in the table beside, Kevin can sit there, there’s no doubt”. “Kevin is there with the rest”.

Iheanacho scored his second league goal this season after 25 minutes, before he provided an assist for Raheem Sterling to get City’s third goal on 48 minutes.

The Belgium worldwide has now scored 18 goals and provided 16 assists for City in 48 appearances. Arsenal has had four penalties this season, scoring two and missing two.

And after losing to his cross-city rival not long ago, and suffering defeat in the Europa League soon after, we can’t imagine Mou will be in the best of moods when he hears about the quip.

He has dismissed the suggestion that they will win the Premier League title comfortably as well as being talked about as potential Champions League winners.
