Manchester City suffered a significant defeat at the hands of Liverpool in the Premier League, falling 2-0 at Anfield. The loss extended their poor form, marking a fourth consecutive league defeat. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah's penalty further widened Liverpool's lead in the league standings, putting a serious dent in City's title aspirations.
Manchester City were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday as their Premier League title hopes suffered a potential fatal blow.
"First, we congratulate to Liverpool for a well-deserved victory. The first 15-20 minutes we experienced like many other times coming here in our prime. We suffered, they deserved the goal. "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. Kevin had the chance when the result was 0-1, maybe it should not have been 0-1 but we accept the reality of what it is and recover and Nottingham Forest.""Yeah. It's not necessary to say. I want the team back, and the players back. It is important because now the training sessions are better and four or five players are coming back.
"But at the same time we are still in December, not the end of the season so many things can still happen and decisions can be made more drastically. I'm sitting here still defending what we defend because this group of players gave me absolutely everything - probably the best years of my life as a manager. But I have to find a solution with the players to try to win games.""If today we give up when you come to Anfield, you go home with a terrible result.
"Manu playing with Rodir or Kova is different than playing with Bernardo and Bernardo plays more in between but what can I say? I know they made an incredible effort to come back. Kevin's rhythm was much better. Jack in the middle I'm thinking he can help us to have that control and vision in the final third and as much as the weeks go through and we can win games our physical condition will be better and we will be a better team. Hopefully it can happen.
"When I was in trouble my mum and dad never gave me away, always they were there, and now I have the feeling in the club, I want to be with these players. We didn’t think we can lose one game, two games. Losing six or seven is wow, it is a lot, but it is what it is, accept it."
