Manchester City The 2-0 defeat saw them suffer their fourth successive Premier League defeat for the first time under Pep Guardiola. Liverpool. Liverpool fans serenaded Guardiola with chants of ‘sack in the morning’ during the game.
The Manchester City manager said, ‘Maybe I deserve to be sacked. ‘Maybe I’m still in the job because we’ve won six Premier Leagues. Many titles. Otherwise the hierarchy might think it doesn’t work.’
Asked about Guardiola’s struggles, Liverpool manager Arne Slott said: ‘You feel empathy or sympathy for managers who are in a really bad place. They’ve either lost a lot of games or they’re bottom of the league… Last season City were eight points behind Arsenal I think in February. No one needs to feel sympathy or pity for Pep. Maybe for other managers but not for Pep. He has won a lot and he can bring City back.’
