I\u2019m more than pleased at what they\u2019ve done so far and you have to move on.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wolves end City 100% PL record! | Wolves 2-1 Man City | EPL Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/daUYnQvylX4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Guardiola added: \u2018I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen this season. What the players have done is unbelievable. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018We conceded two shots on target [against Wolves] and we lost the game, that\u2019s football.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We have to improve, yeah, [but] the base of what we did last season was John Stones, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish and they weren\u2019t there.
