Pep Guardiola admitted he was not good enough after Manchester City were shocked to lose 2-1 at home to Manchester United, conceding two goals in the final two minutes of the game.
Matheus Nunes was at fault for United’s first goal, a penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes. Diallo jumped on a poor pass from Nunes in the 88th minute, who then chased the winger and fouled him with a reckless challenge in the City box.
Two minutes later, Diallo pounced again to score from a tight angle and snatch victory away from City.
“There’s not much to say, no defense, they played very well. We haven’t lost eight games in two seasons. We couldn’t defend. It’s not about this player or that player. We conceded because of our fault. We didn’t play with our heads up. The performance was not good. The game was not outstanding. I know the situation, I understand, but it’s the truth.”
“They have to know that these situations can happen. In the box, you have to be careful. It’s not about Matheus [Nunes], he plays very well at left-back, but it’s not about that. We have to play better. Results help us to perform at our best, but now we don’t have them. What I’ve learned is to move on.”
“I’m not good enough. I’m the boss, I’m the manager. I have to find a solution, and so far I haven’t found it. That’s the truth.”
“We want to play better, create chances, but right now it’s not possible.”
