Pep Guardiola's comments 

Guardiola said, "We're in September... we're going to do that? Okay: congratulations, Liverpool, you are the champions. We're in September! We'll recover, go to Ukraine, then we come back."  Manchester City has won three matches and drew against Tottenham before suffering their first defeat. Pep Guardiola added, "Of course, we've dropped five points. Tottenham was a pity because we played very well. Against Norwich, it was in the important parts, in set pieces for example, that the players have to know exactly what to do." Despite the earlier joke, Pep Guardiola added that they are going to fight until the end. He said, "In the changing room, I speak with them and at the same time I know the commitment in every single training session and in all they do.
