Peps played a blinder here. They're all thinking they're competing with us (very similar to how Arsenal got giddy last season) they don't seem to realise they played a city side that was without stones, walker, ake, bernardo, rodri, kdb, grealish and foden for all but a few minutes for a couple of them. That's 8 players who would be making most of our starting 11's.

There's also the pure fact that we're considerably behind in terms of fitness and preparation as we've seen throughout pre-season with the exception of barca who were behind us.

Not only should they be competing, they should be significantly better. The fact they wasn't should be a big concern for the most expensively assembled squad in football. I'm having a chuckle at them trying to convince themselves isn't a positive though. Make it funnier still when fulham pump them in their own backyard.
 
Personally, I enjoyed the gaslighting from ITV in saying that these lot have improved from last season, and that they've reasons to be positive

Absolutely no mention of the fact that a few of our starting 11 only landed back in Manchester this week from their holidays, and most of the others were young squad players
