Liverpool, England – Manchester City’s dismal run continued on Sunday with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool, extending their winless streak to seven games. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah sealed the victory for the Reds, who now hold a commanding nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. City, meanwhile, languishes in fifth place.

The match saw City manager Pep Guardiola subjected to chants of “You’re getting sacked in the morning” from the Anfield crowd. Guardiola responded by holding up six fingers, a reference to his six Premier League titles with the club. While acknowledging the chants and the severity of City’s current form, Guardiola remained defiant.

“We’ll reset and start from zero,” Guardiola stated after the match. “We accept the reality as it is and recover. I have the feeling we can build something… maybe you can call me delusional, but I feel we can do it.”

Guardiola attributed the loss to Liverpool’s superior speed and strength in transitions, highlighting City’s struggles in those areas. He praised Liverpool’s strong start, noting their dominance in the opening 20 minutes. Despite the criticism and the team’s poor run of form, Guardiola expressed confidence in his players and reiterated his commitment to the club. He also stated that he understood the fans’ frustration, having faced similar chants at other stadiums, and maintained respect for the Liverpool supporters. The manager’s two-year contract extension in November further emphasizes the club’s continued faith in him. The focus now shifts to City’s efforts to turn their fortunes around and climb back up the league standings.
