Manchester City faced a tough loss against Liverpool, leading to taunts aimed at Pep Guardiola. The team’s struggles continue as they fall further behind in the Premier League standings.
After the match, Guardiola faced chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” from Liverpool fans. In response, he held up six fingers, representing the titles he has won with City.
Guardiola is currently experiencing the worst results of his career. Despite the tough loss, he expected more respect from Liverpool fans but took the chants lightly.
Ortega, who came on as a substitute for Ederson, conceded a penalty in the second half. He commented on Liverpool, saying someone told him it’s “probably not the best part of the UK.”
Liverpool played strongly at Anfield and could have scored more goals. This victory helped them distance themselves from Manchester City, who are struggling to chase their fifth consecutive title.
Guardiola’s gesture of holding up six fingers was a rare moment of defiance. He expressed pride in his six Premier League titles, especially against Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
He remarked, “I didn’t expect Anfield to chant at 0-2 that I would be sacked. Maybe I deserve to be sacked, honestly, with our results.”
Guardiola also noted that he didn’t expect the chants at that moment in the game. He acknowledged that when you win, you laugh, and when you lose, others laugh.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, has had a fantastic start, winning 18 of his first 20 games. He stated he doesn’t feel sorry for Guardiola, emphasizing that Pep has achieved so much in his career.
Slot believes that Guardiola will eventually turn things around for City. He said, “No one has to feel empathy or sorry for Pep. He will be able to bring City back.”
