Although Manchester City ultimately won, Guardiola was unhappy with what happened. The 52-year-old suggested his players had become complacent. He also had comments on the behavior of the fans.
“If we play without passion, we won’t win anything this season. I can announce it ‘ snapped Guardioli.
– We lacked courage, passion, fire, desire to win from the first minute. It was the same with the fans, who were silent for 45 minutes. I want my fans back. They must scream. They booed us because we were losing, not because we played badly. Maybe they got too comfortable because we won the league four times in five years? They react when they score a goal, but that’s not the point thundered the Manchester City manager.
– I don’t recognize my team. Previously, football players had a passion, a desire to run. Can we catch up with Arsenal this way? No way. I want the reaction of the whole club now, everyone. I want to beat Arsenal. But if we keep playing like this, they will destroy us. We are far from the team we were in previous seasons Guardiola concluded.
Manchester City are five points behind leaders Arsenal but have played one game more than them. Guardiola’s side will play Wolverhampton on Sunday.
