He's come at a difficult time - he was at Barca when it was clearly a two/three-horse race, and in the Bundesliga before Red Bull got there, whereas the Premier League has been wide open for the last two years and every team is at a different stage of a period of rebuilding.
City probably have the best attack in the league, but unlike Germany and Spain, it's a league where you need to play with centre backs who can tackle and head.
He'll get used to it for sure, but watching people get knocked off their pedestal is fun - especially when they're used to success. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy Mourinho's capitulation last year!

Clearly not this week.
But the xenophobic response to foreign managers in this country really gets my goat, especially when the dearth of top quality English/British managers is so apparent. Guardiola's track record deserves respect, and I'm certain that he'll adjust at City and have them challenging for honours.
