Manchester City continues to struggle with their ninth defeat in 12 matches as they lost 2-1 to Aston Villa on Saturday.
“He won the Premier League six times in seven years, so we will never forget that,” Erling Haaland said of his manager. “He will find the solutions. He has been doing that every single year. We still believe in him, we have to work harder than ever right now.”
Haaland also took responsibility for his own play as he didn\'t have a single touch in the box.
“We have to continue [working to put it right],” Haaland said. “The first [person] I’m looking at is myself, I haven’t been doing things good enough, I haven’t been scoring my chances and everything. I have to do better, it’s a lot on me and I haven’t been good enough.”
Asked about Haaland’s self‑critical reflections, Guardiola said: “I’m not agreeing with him. Without him we would be even worse. But I like the players feeling that way. It’s the only chance that we have to get better. There are two options: judge yourself or blame. I’m not agreeing with Erling because we tried and at the end he needs to be delivered the right balls in the right spots. We will recover and fight for the next one.”
