Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has addressed the team's disappointing performances in recent matches.
Our threat is not clear, we feel that we still don't have the threat that we have always had as a team. And defensively we are not solid enough right now - not today but for a few games so we have to recover to be solid behind. Maybe I deserved to be sacked. With our results, maybe I'm still in the job because I won six Premier Leagues and a lot of titles.

On December 1, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 2-0 at Anfield during the 13th round of the English Premier League (EPL). This loss marked the continuation of a winless streak for Guardiola's squad, now extending to seven matches.
During this unsuccessful stretch, Guardiola and City lost twice to Tottenham and were also defeated by Brighton, Sporting, Bournemouth, and Feyenoord.
Notably, in his 18-year coaching career, the Spanish manager has never suffered five consecutive defeats across all competitions.
Previously, Guardiola expressed his desire to continue with Manchester City but stated that he is prepared to leave if he feels uncomfortable in his role.
In addition, the Spanish coach scratched his face in frustration after missing a potential win against Feyenoord in a UEFA Champions League match.
