Arne Slot insisted that no one need feel sympathy for Pep Guardiola like the worst series of the Manchester City the manager’s career continued with a 2-0 defeat at Anfield.
Liverpool handed City a sixth defeat in their last seven matches to move 11 points clear of their rivals, who languish fifth in the table after being beaten in four straight games. Premier League matches.
But Liverpool head coach Slot believes it is dangerous to write off Guardiola and said the City manager’s huge medal collection is one of the reasons he doesn’t feel sorry for the six-time Premier League winner.
“You feel sympathy or empathy with managers in a really bad place,” Slot explained. “They have lost many games or are bottom of the league, but Pep has won so many things and he has already shown so many times that the league is not decided in November or December, so no one has to feel of sympathy or empathy for Dynamism He has won so many things and will be able to bring City back again.
Guardiola claimed he didn’t expect Liverpool fans to chant ‘sacked in the morning’ after Mohamed Salah scored the second goal but insisted there was no problem with it.
He responded by holding up six fingers – one for each Premier League title he has won – and said: “I am so proud of my six Premier Leagues against this team and the previous team. I didn’t expect Anfield to start chanting at 0-2 that I would be sacked.
“Maybe I deserve to be sacked. With our results, I might still be in the job because I’ve won six Premier Leagues and a lot of titles.
“But I didn’t expect to sing at 0-2 – maybe at 0-1 when it was tighter or maybe last season or the season before. At Anfield I didn’t expect that but that’s okay. It’s part of the game. When you win, you laugh, When you lose, you laugh.
