Pep Guardiola Takes Responsibility for Manchester City's Struggles

The reigning champions sit sixth in the Premier League after a poor run of form, with Guardiola citing his own managerial shortcomings as the cause.

Manchester City has won just two of their last 10 Premier League matches, leaving them 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
Pep Guardiola has publicly blamed himself for the team's underwhelming performance, stating that he has failed to lift the players and address their confidence issues.
The team's struggles have been compounded by injuries to key players, including Rodri, Ruben Dias, John Stones, and goalkeeper Ederson, though Ederson may return for their next match.
Guardiola emphasized that while injuries have played a role, he believes his tactical and leadership decisions are the primary reason for the team's decline.
Manchester City is exploring potential player acquisitions during the January transfer window, with a focus on addressing injuries and bolstering the squad for the remainder of the season.
