Manchester City, bloody hell.
A team built up by Pep Guardiola to be a perfect vision of control and harmony has this year lost all manner of order, with chaos reigning so far in 2023. City served up a wild ride against Tottenham, collapsing miserably to concede two goals at the end of the first half before responding emphatically to take the lead with 20 minutes of the restart.
The weaknesses exposed in the 4-2 win over an average Spurs side may not bode well for a challenger with intentions of winning the Premier League this season, although it is far better than it looked as fans disappeared for a stiff drink at half-time. What is clear is that this is a very strange time for City.
