I am delighted at the performance and the result. I thought last season Tuchel had found a formulae to counter our strengths and strangle us. I could see today that at our best that isn't the case. That still doesn't shake my belief that you will chase us all the way and that we will have to be consistently at our best this season to beat you for the PL. I think you have an excellent manager and squad and Mount, Kante, Mende, are all top, top players. I think the formulae Tuchel has applied whilst not easy on the eye at times gets the best from your squad and I don't think you will drop that many points to other teams. I really don't see him changing much. Today was about energy. for whatever reason, we had more than you. On another day that might switch and the result could be different.I don't know, I just hope with turn with a different approach, and maybe be a bit more prepared to be pressed and hounded for 90 mins, come up with a plan so we can be at least somewhat successful at playing around it. I don't think City, even at their best, are unbeatable, nobody is, but it would certainly take the very best of what we have to offer to achieve it.
I hope Abramovic has the sense to keep Tuchel as he is a credit to the PL.
