Three games in eight days have yielded three wins. More promising than the results, though, is City’s improving style of play. Quick, intense, incisive and brilliantly off-the-cuff—a month into the job, Guardiola is having an obvious effect.
The City fans were prepared to wait for Guardiola's ideas to take hold. There's plenty of scope for further improvement, but it's a case of so far, so good.
A number of players embody the improvements, most obviously Raheem Sterling—but it’s perhaps David Silva’s renaissance that will please City fans the most.
Up until the October international break last season, Silva’s stock with the club’s supporters was about as high as it could be.
