In the aftermath of their Club World Cup triumph in Jeddah, Manchester City now finds themselves under the shadow of skepticism and scrutiny. City boss Pep Guardiola, aware of the lurking critics, acknowledged that people are just waiting to pounce at the slightest stumble of his team. The Spaniard stepped into the spotlight and vented his frustration by calling out the poor results lately as a ‘disaster.’

As City readies for battle at Goodison Park, the whispers of doubt surrounding their recent form have grown. However, Guardiola, often on the receiving end of praise and critique, stands defiant to dismantle the criticism hovering over his team.

Pep Guardiola slams critics after string of draws in the Premier League

They might have added another trophy to their cabinet, but Guardiola knows that success is a double-edged sword. Manchester City’s recent PL struggles, with only one win in six games, have shadowed their title ambitions. Guardiola, however, believes there’s hypocrisy in the analysis his team receives. While the soccer world showers praise on City’s style of play, it all goes down when the results don’t align in their favor.

“The people say, ‘How good they play, the methodology, how genius it is,’ but it’s because I win,” Guardiola asserts. The gap between appreciation for their style and ruthless judgment during a slump is a paradox that Guardiola finds confusing.

“When we played incredibly well against Crystal Palace, Liverpool, and Tottenham and we don’t win, it’s the real proof that they don’t care about the way we play. We played quite similar to the best levels we have played these past eight years. But we don’t win, so it’s a crisis, a disaster,” Pep Guardiola claimed.

Guardiola staunchly defended his side’s display in draws against Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea. He claimed that they played ‘incredibly well’ in these fixtures. However, the absence of a victory has dismantled the complete narrative, which left Guardiola grappling with the perception that their form is nothing short of a disaster.
