Wow great goal. City already have the highest goal difference in all of top 4 leagues in europe.
Premier League Matchweek 5 16th-18th September

- Start date
Of course, but City's attacking movement and play is still far, far superior to us in every way. And that's depressing.
We have created chances in games. The difference is City are clinical, we aren't. That is what's needed take your chances.
Spurs away in the 2nd of October. After that you'd have to go all the way down to December where they face Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Might be tough for a manager who might not be used to no winter breaks.
@ those who think City will tank if Kevin DeScholesy gets hurt again.They will go thru Spurs for a shortcut
Gundogan looks good. Scary to think that Sane has barely played yet.
They didn't cut shit open. They were ordinary as feck. The two goals were a result of 2 individual errors.
It was a masterclass like City at Old Trafford last week.
A little off topic but the game at Bradford (League One) has been suspended because there's been a drone flying over the stadium. 
Pep is going to turn De Bruyne into the best midfielder in the World & shut me up. Incredible performance by not only him but Sterling.
Yeah that is a tough month for them. It's hard to see where they're going to drop points at the moment.
That would be my feeling as well. Our CB's don't like being run at and our full backs are getting on and lack a little bit of pace. All this talk of walking the league is premature. We've had a strong start though
Most on our chances fall to Ibra. They have many players who are getting chances. Another big difference too
The quality of Premier League is so abysmal. City easily putting 4 past a team for the second time this season already.
That is true to be fair. The problem though is that this is only considered not good enough because it's Guardiola and people expect ridiculous things for him. What other manager is considered a failure for not winning the CL and not beating top sides away from home convincingly? It's truly a ridiculous standard to judge any manager by. He still managed to massacre City with 10 men in Manchester, slaughtered Arsenal by 5, Beat Roma by 7 and I still think that the first 60/70 mins at the Nou Camp was the only time I've seen a team go toe to toe with Barcelona and not look inferior. Before him, the last six months under Heynckes is the only period where we saw a team that won so convincingly away from home like they did but that was the exception rather than the rule in my view.
Stop worrying about city.
They are very beatable, Navas is meh, Stones can be exploited and they have had a lot of luck so far.
We were one Zlatan touch away from drawing with them and we were very crap.

City have it all; technical ability, movement, pace, creativity, and they are clinical. You'd never find plodders like Rooney, Mata and Fellaini getting a look in in their team.
There's also some potential slip ups in October with Spurs away, Everton, Southampton and WBA away with Barca away right in the middle but I expect that they'll go through that pretty easily and still come out on top.
I reckon a few of you are standing on the edge of a cliff waiting to jump because of City. Get a grip.

ahahaha
A lot of people must have forgotten that Leicester won the premier league last season. Its September FFS.
Newcastle and FSW 0-2 down at home. A true geordie meltdown on the wayBournemouth with classy offensive play as well. So unlucky there.
Slimani miss him already. I hope he does great.
miss him already. I hope he does great.People are losing it already after five games. What will be their state when City become the new invincibles and win the CL. Only joking, well maybe
Any excuse yeah? You forgot LVG.
Leicester with a third. OG.
Penalty for Hull. Snodgrass conversts. 1-2.
Ref at first let that go. Thank feck for more competent assistants.
City are average defensively. Pressure them and you can get goals. However they will kill you if you get it wrong as their attack is exceptional
Go on Hull. Give us something to cheer about today at least.
Hull equalising late would be great.
My butt is hurting to see how City is performing under Pep
This is hugely worrying for me.
I originally thought that Pep's possession football may not work in the EPL (because of LVG's system's failure), however, clearly it is working.
Unfortunately for us, we need to beat these guys, which is not going to be easy.
Fortunately though, we have just about the only guy who is capable of beating Pep, in Jose.
On another note City and Pep vs Barca will be delicious.
Why do people think that an elite level manager wouldn't be adapt to a winter schedule. People seem to think English football culture is some sort of magical thing that weird foreign types would be unable to work with. It's a stupid argument. The "cold Wednesday night at Stoke" theory.
Problem is that Bournemouth are a side who will try to attack, which was their undoing last season. Their attack is not good enough to do that, so City's attack will rip them to shreds. That's if you can get the ball off City that is.
Chadli is fantastic. 2 goals and 2 assists.
Exactly the type of player that West Brom needed.
