Pep Guardiola refused to accept any criticisms towards his team’s performance in humbling 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool’s mammoth gap at the top increased to 22 points after Manchester City’s visit to London this past weekend.
Of course, Oleksandr Zinchenko’s sending off in the second half proved pivotal for the Premier League champions. “On this performance, how should I be critical?” The Spaniard told Sky Sports. “On this performance, it would be an incredible mistake to say how bad they are.
“We created chances and conceded few. I always feel good football is when you create more chances than the opposite team. I always believe in this concept, you are close to winning the games.”
The former Barcelona coach added: “We played good but lost the game. It happened again. They had two shots and scored two goals. I don’t have too many things to say about the performance. It happened before, against United. They created I don’t know how many chances, only a few, we had a lot and didn’t score. We have to accept it and analyse it, sometimes it is not easy. We did really well, honestly.”
“The sending off was a key point, having 10 and 11 is completely different. We said at half-time be careful.”
