Guardiola agrees with critics
Guardiola has come to terms with the fact that his ability is declining following his team's 2-1 defeat against the Red Devils.
According to NBC, via the Sun, Guardiola said, “I’m the boss, I’m the manager and I’m not good enough. I’m not doing well—it's as simple as that.
“I need to talk to them about the way we have to play and press and build up, and I’m not good enough.
“I’m the manager and I don’t find the solution. In a big club, when you lose eight in 11, something wrong is happening.
"It’s my job. My job is not just to win games or lift trophies. I’m incredibly well-paid for that reason.
“We want to play better; create chances. But at the moment, it’s not possible. There is no defence for eight defeats in 11.”
Guardiola will be looking to rally his troops back on track and get a win when they face Aston Villa at the weekend.
