But the Spaniard insisted his side, who have also won their three Champions League games played under him so far, are still very much a work in progress.

Pep Guardiola spoke to the press after the Premier League victory against Swansea City, and Pep avoided any sort of excitement or satisfaction about the ten straight wins to start the season.
“But we can support him like our strikers with the people from behind to make that pressure”. Francesco Guidolin worked some major magic for the Swans last season, but now his job security is in major doubt.

De Bruyne has been a revelation to help City make it a stunning 10 wins from 10 matches since Pep Guardiola took charge. “It was smart from him but clearly it was disappointing for us”.
That includes Sergio Agüero, who has an unbelievable record of 11 goals in just six appearances but could still improve in the eyes of the manager.
Guardiola said: “Kevin is injured”.
“We are being killed, so I hear many, many things about the coaches just to lose one game but the people have to understand we are not going to win absolutely everything, we are going to lose a game”. If we were close, then I could just go back home.
“You have to be smart and intelligent to not fall down – be quiet and focus on what we have to do in the game”, Guardiola told reporters.
“We will have to see what we have to do better to win the game”. The directors of football are Spanish and they bought a lot of players who are used to this idea of football and these tactics. “We are not in a good moment for results, but (against Manchester City) I saw my team grow up”.
“It’s a pity as Kevin is an important player for us”.
“Raz feels that his team-mates appreciate his efforts”.

“We have a lot of confidence”. He is a lot smaller than me so when we battle like that his head is around the height of my elbow. We can play another good game.
