Pep's squad is looking 
solid this season 
Been saying it for ages, but if you can't keep pace with the top teams, you're gonna get left behind 
Bournemouth showed some heart out there, but that 3-1 scoreline tells a different story 
his partnership with erling haaland is like a dream come true, i mean those two can create something out of nothing 
he's always the one who sets up the attacks. but bournemouth gotta step up their game, they cant keep getting beat like that 
. and can't wait to see manchester city take on united next... it's gonna be a cracker! 
so like what can u say? City just showed how strong they are, especially with Haaland scoring 2 goals in his debut season 
Ruben Dias is doing a great job at the back for City. But Bournemouth gotta step up their game if they wanna compete with these top teams 
they can't just rely on the one team to take them down, right? 
so i think pep guardiola's mancs is doing pretty well this season 
but overall, 2nd in the league is a great spot for them, and it shows how well they're adapting under pressure 
as for bournemouth, they gotta learn from this loss 
they showed some resilience, but they just couldn't cope with mans city's attacking trio 
jack grealish is so underrated btw, his pace is unmatched 
gotta say, pep guardiola is a master tactician, he always knows how to adapt and win games 
bournemouth is like, a whole different level of strugglin' right now 
️. erling haaland is literally unstoppable right now 
. anyway, this win for man city is huge and i think they've got a real shot at winning the league now 
and now man city is only one spot behind man utd in the league table 
gotta say their defense has been solid with ruben dias at the helm 
It's also great to see Ruben Dias marshaling that defense, he's been a rock solid presence all season. What worries me about Bournemouth though is they just can't seem to stay up in the league 
. They've got some talented players but it seems like they're just not good enough yet. Maybe they need a bit of investment and a revamp? 
Either way, Man City's 3-1 win was impressive and I'm loving their determination to stay on top! 
! And Grealish's creativity off the bench was pure magic 
! I'm not surprised they took this win - City has been putting in some impressive performances lately. But for Bournemouth, it's a tough pill to swallow... they just can't seem to catch a break 
he's like a superhero out there, scoring goals left & right 
and de bruyn & grealish are just the icing on the cake 
they're like the dream team, man! i'm loving the way pep adapts his tactics 2 keep his players fit & sharp 
man united better step up their game or they'll be chasing man city all season 
And Haaland is just on fire right now 
But like we all know, every loss is an opportunity to learn and come back stronger
