I can give them some of their feelings.
That was clearly on display against Brighton, a good footballing team in Brighton.
You just feel, especially when you draw the comparisons between Manchester City and Arsenal, who generally don't drop points, given the gap that they're on, you just wonder where, not where, City now have to be perfect from here to the end of the season, and even so, where do Arsenal drop those points?
For me, and we're in January, the January transfer window is open, you expect Pep Guardiola and Manchester City to do an awful lot of business, but there are just so many holes in this Manchester City team, particularly defensively.
How do you fix that defence in one transfer window?
Again, and as far as attacking-wise goes, Doku on the pitch today, I find they look so much better when he's on the park, have two natural wingers, a lot of talk about Semenyo, whether he comes in.
As it happens, he played on that left-hand side for Bournemouth today.
Maybe having two orthodox wingers gets the best out of Erling Haaland yet again.
But there's just so much for Pep Guardiola to fix in a very short space of time and no wiggle room between now and the end of the season.
And all eyes were on him for obvious reasons on that left-hand side.
From a Spurs perspective, I thought Thomas Frank's team played well enough.
I can't say that they were that much worse than Bournemouth.
