Pep Guardiola’s poor run at Manchester City this season has now gone beyond repair, and as he puts it, the Premier League defence might be over.
A 2-0 defeat at Anfield saw his side extend their losing streak in the Premier League to 4 games and six games overall, their worst run in decades.
After going two up, Liverpool fans could be heard excitedly singing ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ while taunting a bleak Pep.
The manager, known for his fiery vibe on the touchline, played it cool at once before coming out with six fingers held up as he gave it back to the Liverpool faithful.
This symbolised the six Premier League titles he had won with City, something Liverpool have only achieved once under Jurgen Klopp.
The Champions are now left in the fifth spot, and they could be fighting for the top four now that even their manager believes it will be difficult to catch up.
Liverpool go 11 clear of City
The Reds seem to be maintaining their great form by winning games, with Mo Salah showing why he deserves that new contract.
Despite Arsenal beating West Ham 5 goals to 2 away from home, Liverpool’s biggest win so far of the season helped them advance to a place no one will be expecting to see them take lightly.
With experienced players such as Van Dijk, Salah, Trent Alexander Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister, they are surely set to perform despite a few injuries in defence.
