Today marked the beginning of the Pep era at the Etihad. The verdict? Not too shabby.Manchester City came away 2-1 winners over Sunderland in Pep Guardiolas debut as their manager thanks to a late own goal.The first half saw complete domination from the Citizens, and though some may have expected a windfall after Sergio Agueros fourth minute penalty, the blue side of Manchester will have been content with their sides creativity during the first half, even if it did not yield further goals.Sunderland enjoyed a five-minute spell of pressure at the end of the first half, in which Willy Caballero expertly denied Jermain Defoe from point-blank range. It was perhaps worrying that Sunderland were able to muster such a clear-cut opportunity despite being on the back foot for such a large majority of the first 45 minutes.City came out looking a little rejuvenated but some stubborn defending from the Sunderland back-line set up a nervy finish going into the final quarter. Sure enough, Citys fears were realised as Jermain Defoe broke free, thanks to a deft pass from Janujaz, and slotted the ball past a helpless Caballero.The Citizens then went all-out for the win and were finally rewarded in the final moments of normal time. A debut disaster for Paddy McNair, who had only been on the pitch a few minutes, saw the ex-Manchester United defender nod the ball into his own net whilst challenging Delph in the air.It was by no means a fairy-tale beginning to Guardiolas reign, but theres certainly some promise to build upon, in particular Nolitos first-half performance.Buy Shoes Australia .ca.

Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday.KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Butch Jones will thoroughly, thoroughly examine every aspect of his program as the Volunteers prepare for the Music City Bowl and attempt to reverse a late-season slide.After getting off to a 5-0 start and being ranked as high as ninth, Tennessee (8-4) dropped four of its final seven regular-season games, including surprising losses at South Carolina and Vanderbilt . The Vols face No. 24 Nebraska (9-3) in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30 at Nashville, Tennessee.Obviously we did not finish (the regular season) the way we wanted to finish, Jones said. Thats unacceptable in our program. I take responsibility for that as the leader of this program. We have to do a better job of finishing.Tennessees slump makes this a different type of bowl season for the Vols.Each of the last two years, Tennessee posted one-sided bowl victories that capped late-season surges. Tennessees 45-6 Outback Bowl blowout of Northwestern last year highlighted a six-game winning streak to close the season. Two years ago, the Vols won four of their last five games, including a 45-28 TaxSlayer Bowl triumph over Iowa .Tennessees players say they remain as motivated as ever for the bowl game. Theyre eager to stay in their home state and correct the mistakes theyve made in their last few games.Well be excited to actually play another game and redeem ourselves from our last performance, quarterback Joshua Dobbs said.This isnt the way Tennessee anticipated ending its season. The Vols were picked to win the SEC Eastern Division title but finished behind Florida, a team they had beaten early in the season. They still had a legitimate shot at earning a Sugar Bowl bid until their loss to Vanderbilt.The recent struggles have Tennessee eager to address the long-term health of its program while also preparing for the bowl game.I will thoroughly, thoroughly examine everything in our football program in moving forward, Jones said. Every amount of time where Imm not recruiting or not in a home or not in a high school, Im examining that and will continue to do that.dddddddddddd Thats a process. You have to take the emotion out. You have to look at where youre at, you have to look at how far youve come and then you have to look at your deficiencies as a football team and a football program.Jones said one of Tennessees major offseason priorities is adding depth. A multitude of injuries and a porous defense prevented Tennessee from maintaining the form it showed early in the season.We have to continue to recruit that depth, Jones said. Our starting 22 could play with anybody in the country. I think we saw that starting out 5-0.Dobbs, defensive end Derek Barnett, offensive tackle Brett Kendrick, wide receiver Josh Malone and defensive tackle Kendal Vickers are the only Vols who started all 12 regular-season games. Injuries have caused Tennessee to start seven different offensive line combinations and 10 different secondary combinations. The defense lost tackles Kahlil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle, linebackers Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Quarte Sapp plus safety Evan Berry to season-ending injuries.The bad news on the injury front continued Monday when Jones announced offensive tackle Chance Hall has undergone surgery and will miss the Music City Bowl. Hall missed Tennessees last three regular-season games with a knee injury.All those injuries may help explain why defensive end LaTroy Lewis says this year is definitely not a disappointment, even though the Vols didnt live up to their preseason billing.I probably can sit here and talk to numerous friends playing around the country, and they would trade (for) our eight wins in a heartbeat, Lewis said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee ' ' '
