Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with the attitude of his players for last night's win at Burnley.
Guardiola admits his players are not yet fully prepared, but found a way to victory on Friday.
We are still away from our best form but we have to try to not drop points in this period with this amount of games," the manager told waiting media after the win over the Clarets.
How you solve this lack of preparation is a question of mentality.
We were fortunate to break the game early with the goals from Erling. But after we created problems for ourselves, against man to man that was not correct.
There was a moment after 30-35 minutes when Julian, Bernardo, Mateo, Phil dropped and we attacked with full backs on the outside and made a lot of passes.
In the second half we were perfect trying to isolate Erling 1 on 1.
The first game away against a newly-promoted team with the passion and love they have to be back in the Premier League, always it's so tricky.
We behaved exemplary. We gave away the ball in different positions but they showed the heart and passion."
