He said, “The better team prevailed.” “Aston Villa outperformed us. We had trouble. It was very challenging. They are quick, agile, physically strong players with good organisation skills. They are up there for that reason. We were unable to match their skillful football play.
“I have a responsibility and a task to figure out how to return. We have been together for many years, and during that time we have managed to figure out how to win games.
“Now that we are having trouble, we need to alter the dynamic, win at Luton and Crystal Palace as soon as possible, to alter our perspective and keep winning there.”
Once more, it was evident that Rodri was not present. Due to a ban, the Spain midfielder has missed four games this season; City has lost all four.
Even with Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, and of course Kevin De Bruyne out, City is clearly dependent on their midfield holder.
Guardiola remarked, “Of course Rodri is so important, but when Rodri is not there we have to find a way to win against Liverpool and Spurs.”
“Today is easy; you have to accept that the better team won. It occurs in football. “I know you tried, I know you want it, and you have proven it to me many, many times,” I said to the players.
“I have to watch the games, think about it, and see how we try to do it because the results right now are not good.”
