Up next is a tricky game away to Newcastle, and Guardiola singled out Magpies midfield star Bruno Guimaraes for praise in one of his comments."
"On City's goalkeepers We have an incredible two keepers with Gigio and James. I've been incredibly impressed how James developed since he left the academy here. Gigio, always I said, when you start at 17 with Milan it's because you are something special. All the players are qualified for the World Cup and hopefully Gigio can do it. Experience, if you learn from what happens you have more experience, but that doesn't mean you will always do well."
"We are in November, and in November in this league nothing is final. What happens in February or March, be careful. Now international break is done we will see each other every few days till March, now the real season starts now. We have to be there in March. Winning tomorrow would be an important step for us."
