Manchester City suffered their fourth successive Premier League defeat for the first time under Pep Guardiola after a 2-0 loss away to Liverpool. During the game Liverpool fans serenaded Guardiola with ‘sacked in the morning’ chants.
‘Maybe I deserve to be sacked, honestly,’ the Manchester City manager said. ‘Maybe I’m still in the job because we won six Premier Leagues. A lot of titles. Otherwise the hierarchy maybe would be thinking that this does not work.’
When asked on Guardiola’s struggles, the Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, said: ‘You feel sympathy or empathy with the managers that are in a really bad place. They’ve either lost many games or they are down at the bottom of the league … Last season City were eight points behind Arsenal I think in February. No one has to feel empathy or sorry for Pep. Maybe for other managers but not for Pep. He has won so many things and he will be able to bring City back.’
