Other teams are in the same situation with Covid and lack of proper preseason. Doesn't seem to have effected them as much.

We looked tired and unfit last season too.

Doesn’t it? apart from Evertons good start all teams are pretty inconsistent. Liverpool have had a decent start but haven’t looked as invincible as last seasons start.

Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko, Balotelli?

The issue with Aguero is not *just* his fitness mate he’s not close to what he used to be. You just pretending not to have seen the decline in his performances when he was fit ? If we wanted to challenge for this league, which we won’t, then Aguero should have had a lesser role this season eg like Silva last season.

Jesus’ problems is also not his recent injury, he’s not good enough to be our first choice striker.

Neither Jesus or Aguero at this point in his career are good enough to fire us to the league.
And it’s not just a striker thing, this side has got major fucking issues which we have chose to ignore for 2 successive summers and in some positions even longer.

Left back has remained the only issue, the rest no. I'm talking about current team. Liverpool did not have a decent backup for Firmino, it was all reliant on an average striker like Origi, they still made it work. We can't just sign players to cover for 'in case' scenarios. It's not realistic.

These major issues have risen because of us losing established, experienced members of the squad. It happens to every side, we just happen to be in transition again. And we will likely stay like this, because we will also lose Fernandinho (consider him lost since hes old and not as impactful, or a starter, and possibly Aguero). So yeah, the team will take time to find new identity, and they need some luck to have a good run of games.

If you think a simple transfer window can fix all that then I can't argue with you. Pep has to stay and see through another rebuild, taking responsibility.

What are these other teams? Everton look very good but I doubt they'll actually be challenging for the title.

Liverpool? They had their entire first team fit and ready, and unlike City, they had a proper pre season, and were well rested as they had no cup, and no CL to worry about since they wrapped up the league so early.

It's just your point mate, inconsistent, beat a team 5-2 one week and lose 3-0 to a West Ham side we put to sword on a regular.

Who are the other teams? Every other football club.

The excuses on here for a pretty mediocre start as if the situation is only unique to us.

As I said above, we look unfit and unready last season too. These 3 games are just a continuation of the same problems.
 
The only teams winning are the ones fully fit, well rested, who've had a pre season, and have their key players playing in every game.

We didn't, hence we lost and drew one.
