A Season of Unprecedented Struggle
- Won only once in 11 games across all competitions
- Eight defeats in this shocking run
- Trailing Liverpool by nine points
- Currently sitting outside Champions League qualification places
Guardiola’s Confession
“I don’t have defence, I’m the boss, I’m the manager. I have to find a solution and I don’t find a solution,”
Guardiola candidly admitted. In an extraordinary moment of self-criticism, he added,
“I’m not good enough. It’s as simple as that.”
The Manchester Derby Disaster
The latest blow came in a heart-breaking Manchester derby defeat, where City seemed destined for victory before a dramatic collapse:
- Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header initially gave City the lead
- A disastrous sequence involving Matheus Nunes’ poor pass
- Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty to equalize
- Amad Diallo scored a late winner, completing Manchester United’s, remarkable turnaround
Player Criticism Reaches Breaking Point
Bernardo Silva’s scathing critique highlighted the team’s issues:
“At this level, a game or two is unlucky. We can’t say this is lucky or unlucky — it’s not about that. If we make these stupid decisions with three or four minutes to go, you deserve to pay for that.”
Guardiola’s Future Hangs in Balance
The manager acknowledged the season’s difficulty from the beginning but admitted,
“I didn’t expect it would be so hard, like it is right now.”
