With $200 million spent on new players and Guardiola arriving from Bayern Munich to manage an already impressive lineup, City is the hot favourite to win the league this season.
Pep Guardiola has begun his Manchester City reign with a 2-1 victory over Sunderland on the opening day of the new Premier League season.
Caballero, though, says he has not tried to replicate the success of any of Guardiola’s former goalkeepers in a bid to impress his new manager.
The Chilean joined Barcelona in 2014 and has made 69 La Liga appearances for the Blaugrana.
Guardiola, who also left out Yaya Toure, said: “I am very pleased with our performance”. He can hardly be a long-term solution for City.
“It was disappointing that we backed off Jesus Navas and allowed the ball to be played across the six-yard box”.
Sergio Aguero put City ahead with an early penalty, but the hosts failed to make their dominance count and Jermain Defoe equalised with 19 minutes remaining.
“Overall, I thought the players did well”.
Hart was in the City squad that yesterday travelled to Romania for City’s Champions League play-off round first leg against Steaua Bucharest tomorrow.
Joe Hart’s future has been a talking point this summer with the keeper being linked away from the Etihad.
“They haven’t lost many games in 2016, we didn’t lose in pre-season, so maybe today it was no surprise that we came very close to doing it again”. “We need games and minutes together to have experience together and to have rhythm and to play more better if we can”.
As for his new signings, he added: “All of them were a team, so we fight”.
“Sami arrived a little bit. but the last one week, two weeks, he’s training awesome, so I’m really impressed about the quality of Sami”.
Support from a manager like that is the type of thing the England man needs, especially given the stick he receives on social media and from opposition fans, and we may have seen the consequences of that support on Saturday.
Despite the cruel manner of the defeat, Moyes was quick to point out that McNair was not at fault.
