Pep Guardiola admits fault as Manchester City struggles, losing to Manchester United and falling behind in standings.
Pep Guardiola declared himself “not good enough” after Manchester City's season sunk to a new low after a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.
The four-time defending Premier League champion has lost eight of its last 11 games in all competitions - winning just once in that run.
City is fifth in the standings and nine points behind leader Liverpool, having played a game more.
“I’m the boss, I’m the manager and I’m not good enough. It’s as simple as that,” Guardiola said after the latest loss. “I’m not doing well. That is the truth.”
Guardiola has led City to unprecedented success, winning an unprecedented four Premier League titles in a row and six in the last seven seasons. He has won 15 major trophies at the club, including the Champions League.
But he is experiencing the worst run of form in his coaching career, which has seen him win 33 major trophies at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City.
Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension last month, but that has not sparked an upturn in his team's form.
