Let's all be honest here; this loss probably means nothing in the grand scheme of things .....as will the next 3 or three losses/draws, while they still find their feet, as City are notoriously and habitually slow starters to seasons.
Once they get on a roll, they'll be hard to stop and at the end of the day they remain the top favourites to retain their title.
The only thing this result means is that they're not going through the Season unbeaten.
That's it.
Let's just do our part to ensure we're right up there with them in the thick of it as I believe this will probably be the most competitive title race in probably our lifetimes since literally all the top 6 teams from last season have gotten stronger, and it's not a stretch to think that some like the Hammers and even the Bitters (puke!!) will get in the mix.
(I hate so much that Rafa is going to make them shites better. But he is).
If De Bruyne had started this game and was fit, I don't think the result would what it was today.
They were lack that creative lock-picker in the middle of the park more than they were missing a threat upfront.
How Spurs played them is pretty much how most teams will approach and play them all season.
