Pep Guardiola has claimed that he takes full responsibility for Manchester City's current performance this season.

Manchester City have struggled to replicate their form last season, with the team currently in a bad shape.

The Citizens have only won two of their last 14 games and have lost nine in all competitions this season.

Their performance this season has seen them in 6th place on the league table and 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Guardiola takes all the blame

Guardiola has expressed his pain at Man City’s poor performance this season and admitted it was all his fault.

According to the Daily Mail, Guardiola said, “I'm unbelievably honest with myself for the reasons why we've arrived here, and it is me. It's not the players. I blame (myself). It's not to say, 'Oh, how nice is Pep?' It's the truth.

“I lead that group of players and I could not lift them. This is the reality. There is something I'm missing, something I'm not doing well.

“When you lose a lot of games, there is an incredible responsibility for the manager to feel something that the team needs for its confidence. And I was not able to do it.'

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva has given up on Man City winning the league this season, claiming ‘it is impossible’.
