Despite a bright start, City were ultimately deservedly beaten by a Tottenham side who out played their hosts.<\/p>\n

“We are a bit fragile right now, that is obvious,” said Guardiola. “We struggled to score goals and after when they arrived they scored.<\/p>\n

“We are playing with a little bit of negativity in our thoughts but this is normal. Football is a sense of mood. <\/p>\n

“We were always a consistent team conceding few chances. Our game was about control.<\/p>\n

“This is not a team created to do box-to-box 40 times in a game – we are not good at that. We were always a team who conceded few but now we concede more. I would like there to just be one reason but there are many.”<\/p>\n

Former England striker Alan Shearer, said on Match of the Day: “There were so many things wrong. It’s not just not having Rodri, it is defenders not defending properly. They haven’t got the press right all over the park.<\/p>\n

“There is plenty to work on, there was no protection and they were too open.<\/p>\n

“Liverpool away is a massive game next weekend for Man City. For the first time I would have real concerns over them. I am seeing too many worrying signs. If Liverpool win on Sunday and next week, I think Man City would find it really tough.”<\/p>\n

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville described it as a “sobering day” for the champions, while ex-Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp said Man City were “too easy to play against”.<\/p>\n

Ex-Man City defender Micah Richards told Sky Sports: “I am flabbergasted. Spurs showed great quality but from Man City it was truly awful. <\/p>\n

“They got dominated in midfield, they look like there is a lack of energy, a lack of conviction. <\/p>\n

“I thought Pep’s new contract would give them a buzz. Today it feels like more than a blip.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
