Dean Court 1 Etihad 2

SAME OLD CITY?

Despite dominating possession for much of the game, and enjoying a series of goal-scoring chances, City had looked for 97 minutes of this match as if they were set to walk away from Dean Court with just one point. More than £222m has been spent this summer, on top of the millions which were splashed last year, but Guardiola's side were far from convincing in today's victory as they edged past the home side in the dying moments of the game. After the disappointment of Monday's draw at Everton, this ultimately raises the question of what exactly is missing?

Some other ingredient to put in his blender. Pep's still looking for the right "blend," you see.
