The crisis worsens for Manchester City after another defeat against Aston Villa (1-2), their sixth setback in eight Premier League days. Despite a worrying series marked by 27 goals conceded in the last 12 matches, Pep Guardiola refuses to give in to panic.
“I am not disappointed with the performance of the players. We played better here than last season, even though we didn’t win either.”he declared after the meeting. The Catalan technician continues to look for solutions to redress the situation and bring the Skyblues, currently 6th, back into the title race.
Haaland and Guardiola in search of solutions
While Erling Haaland recognized his disappointing match against the Villans (“I didn’t do things right, I need to do better”), Guardiola did not fail to defend his star striker: “Without him, it would be even worse. He needs to receive balls in the right positions”.
Losing confidence, City players, dominated in the midfield and unable to press effectively, must bounce back quickly. The next match against Everton on Thursday could prove crucial in reversing the trend.
