Manchester City are perfect in the new Premier League. Three wins in s many matches has City flying high, thanks to another Haaland hat trick, the club is in a very strong position in this early season.

As we enter the break, let's check what Pep Guardiola had to say post-match-

"From the beginning Erling was unbelievable.

"The second goal, even the first. The third goal is something unique. With this mindset he has, everything he can do. The numbers with the short age and the games he's played.

"He's loved for what he does on the pitch.

"He wants to score goals."

"Absolute, absolutely [he's playing well]. Have you seen the minutes he played in the pocket? I said many times, Rico has one incredible ability that for many years, it was difficult to find," he explained.

"Always he is free, always he is alone. When his mate has the ball. I don't know what he does, but he's free. You can pass the ball to him, and not just in positions where it's comfortable, but in positions where the space is so tight, arriving in the third final.

"He is a good defender and can play in two or three positions. He's playing good so he deserves to play. But every three days he cannot sustain that.

"We need Kyle [Walker] back, John [Stones] back, and all the players ready, because the schedule that comes from now on until the end of the season will be difficult.

"That's what I said. Pre-season is over today. It's over officially. The real season starts after the international break.

"[Grealish] was really good. He was aggressive without the ball but especially with the ball against Wan-Bissaka and made good actions.

"Hopefully he can come back fit and better. All my English players I would like them to go to the national team when they are fit and the other nationalities the same.

"I don't like when they're not completely fit and they go but with the power of the national team we don't have anything to say."

Let's enjoy it while we can. Being grateful for every day under Pep's management is an understatement. That's all I can say. pic.twitter.com/XUzjyX3Kk7 - Real Talk Manchester City (@RealTalkMCFC) September 1, 2024
