Pep Guardiola promises to find a solution to Manchester City’s troubles following the defeat to Aston Villa.
Pep Guardiola vowed to find a “solution” to Manchester City’s troubles following Wednesday night’s defeat at Aston Villa.
Although Leon Bailey scored the game’s sole goal, the scoreline belied the champs. Never before in Guardiola’s senior management history has his team taken only two attempts in a game, emphasizing the issues ailing his team.
The City manager has reacted angrily to suggestions that his team has lost desire since winning the treble last season, and only on Tuesday did he say he believed his club was capable of winning an unprecedented fourth trophy in a row.
Guardiola, on the other hand, has now gone four games without a win since taking over as manager of Barcelona in 2008.
Pep Guardiola promises to find a solution to Manchester City’s troubles following the defeat to Aston Villa.
They are now fourth, six points behind champions Arsenal, who clinched the title with a late goal against Luton on Tuesday night.
“Aston Villa played better,” he commented.
“We didn’t move in possession in the first half, and the second half was much, much better, and we had chances, but we struggled to find the pass and movements at the right moments.”
“We scored four or five goals with deflections after the deflection [for Bailey’s goal], so it is what it is, and we have to accept Aston Villa was better and go to Luton.”
“Of course, Rodri [who was suspended for the game] is an important player, but when he isn’t there, we have to find a way to win without him.”
“We’re six points off the top, and we’d prefer to be first, but we’ve drawn three games and lost today.”
“In these years, we’ve found a way to win games, but we’ve struggled a little, and we need to find a way.” It’s my responsibility to find a solution. Winning games changes the situation. When a team improves, it must be recognized.”
