Swansea City 0 – 4 Manchester City: 5 Talking Points

#1 Manchester City’s potential enemy – Complacency

Guardiola and Silva -The scheming Spaniards

City’s win meant they set a record of 15 successive league wins within a single season. Having equalled the record against their greatest rivals at the weekend, it was expected that City would stroll to a win. Pep sure seems to be in a hurry and one cannot blame him either.

After having served up a trophyless campaign in his first season in charge at City, Guardiola is looking to make amends and one feels that Guardiola wants to create a breathing space for his squad members ahead of the hectic winter schedule.

City continue to compete in all four competitions and at the turn of the year, the cup games will come thick and fast. Hence a cushion of 11 points at the top means that if the side even has a couple of off weeks, they will still be in a position to win the title.

Guardiola has done well to adapt his style of play to the demands of English football and this was evidenced by his post-match interview as he stated, “We can lose, we can drop points but complacency, it has never happened in the past, the present or the future. Winning 15 games in a row gives us a lot of confidence. If people are happy watching us, that is the best gift”
