FT: Burnley 0-3 Man City"Really good. The first games are so important to see how our vibes are. To come here to a promoted side is always so tricky. We didn't expect them to play with five at the back but we found the goal.
"After the goal we struggled, created problems for ourselves. But then Bernardo and Kovacic drop deeper, we get possession going and then we improved. "The key thing in the game was the attacking with the full backs and then the rest getting inside the pitch and creating problems."We gave passes away, the players need to read what we have to do. Against man to man [marking] you cannot always play to the closest player. You have to play more passes and go more direct.
"The second half Erling was magnificent with the man to man. After we make more passes and Phil, Julian, everybody was really really good."
