It’s now a different City to Guardiola’s first season as well though, plus the biggest difference was that we had one of the most in-form strikers in Europe at the time when we beat them, which matters in how well you counter attack (as seen yesterday with the opposite to an in-form striker up front for us). Three shots, three goals. Last season, three shots, none on target.

I was being tongue in cheek about yesterday as you can’t really compare the two games but there is an element of truth there - how often do teams go away to someone better than them, attack them, and come away with a positive result?
Being realistic doesn’t always necessarily mean being negative, in these games you just need the actual players to play well and once again, they mostly failed.
