No doubt some pundits will try to put the blame on Bravo for it.

I always wondered how Guardiola would get on if he managed a bog standard, average team instead of clubs who are so far ahead of the rest the teams in their leagues that your granny could coach them. Now we know. Watching him fall spectacularly flat on his smug face is going to be one of the highlights of the season. Anyone who picks a keeper because he's good with is feet is a fucking idiot...pep is a fucking idiot and a fraud

Bit too early to judge pep granola until next season, but why not eye up some of their players now as he will surely be looking to offload quite a few of those players. The transfer window could be interesting.

Man City's spending on CB's over the past two seasons really proves you can have more money than sense.
Mangala £42M Otamendi £29M Stones £49M
Resale value £10M the lot, but only if they all agree to 80% wage cuts.

The transfer window could be interesting. Such as who? When their manager, the media and the footballing world see john stones as the rest of his do, I wouldn't want him anywhere near our team.

I was at the leicester game today and whilst you have to give them credit I didn't see much to show that they're back to last season. Man City seemed to still be on the bus for the first 15 mins or so. The second half was utterly one sided and on another day they'd have scored 2 in the first 15 mins of that half. Stones then basically sealed their fate. Leicester were back to lazy play in the second half giving man City all the time in the world. I could be proven wrong in Leicesters next two games but personally not thinking oh shit they're back

The most amazing stat from this game is that, according to the BBC website, they won it with just 22% of the possession.

Stones again. England's finest. Another learning curve ? That's 30 in the last 12 months

Some game. In my opinion much more like the Leicester of 2015/16 - tempo, pace and counter attacks. We have Bournemouth on Tuesday night before we play yourselves on Saturday.

Stones again! Cunt. Incredible that he does the same manoevre over and over again!

Stones has become a parody of himself. Like it's a piece of performance art or something.

Leicester didn't look anything special though.
Defend deep and press their CBs when they have the ball and you'll hurt them.
Man City did neither.
They played a ridiculously high line and easy long balls killed them. It was ridiculous.
Drop 10 yards, don't allow Vardy the space to run into and they don't have much else.

Absolutely staggering that Guardiola went there with that tactic. It was either bare faced arrogance or he genuinely hadn't got a clue.

I'd go with the arrogance of believing his team could stamp their authority on the game without Leicester doing anything. Which is just daft especially when you have a defence as bad as his. I just hope we've learned from it and don't play the same high line we did against Callum Wilson!

I can't explain how much satisfaction I would get if guardiola just fucked off. After such a good start I had them Romping it. But its a tough league and he is seeing it first hand now. As soon as Europe gets in the way its even harder.
If he did go I have the song Ringing around my head what we should sing to the shit.
Where's your,, clap clap,, guardiola,, where's your,, clap clap,, guardiola,, Where's your,, clap clap,, guardiola,,
Not that creative I know, but any chance to give them wankers the fingers,

I missed this, I'm going to have to replay it tonight and watch this calamity. Always laughed at the Stones hype he just isn't physical enough, I doubt he can even open a branston pickle jar with them t-rex arms.
