Pep Guardiola Speaks Out at Liverpool Supporters Over Manchester City’s Continuing Desperation Pep Guardiola Blasts Liverpool Fans In The Face Of Manchester City’s Current Troubles.

Guardiola’s Six-Finger Snip: A Bullish Answer to Liverpool Tickers

Manchester City’s turbulent season didn’t end at Anfield as Pep Guardiola’s side succumbed 2-0 to a lethal Liverpool side. Cody Gakpo’s goals and a second-half penalty from Mohamed Salah clinched the victory to take Manchester City’s unbeaten run to seven games in all formats. City are now 11 points adrift of Liverpool, who are enjoying a fine run under Arne Slot.

The Premier League title prospects of City were thrown into question by the team’s lackluster showing, and Guardiola himself got a bit of the spotlight at half time. While Liverpool fans chanted "You’re getting sacked in the morning," the Catalan manager waved six fingers at the crowd (a pun on the six Premier League titles he’s won with City since he arrived at the Etihad Stadium).

Anfield’s Taunts Strike a Nerve

Guardiola spoke after the game and responded to the chants in both humor and anger. "I didn’t think Anfield would start saying that when we were down 0-2," he said. ‘It’s my fault maybe, honestly, with the way we did. Or maybe I’m still around because I’ve won 6 Premier Leagues and lots of trophies!

"When you win, they laugh; when you lose, they laugh. I’m glad to hear it, but I didn’t believe they’d sing it on 0-2. "Maybe they could’ve done it at 0-1 or last season when we were in better form!"

It is one of the most dismal periods in Guardiola’s glittering managerial career, which includes unprecedented success at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. But we are already drawing parallels with Jose Mourinho, whose downfall came with defensive responses to critics in the dark.

City’s Crisis Grows As Title Promises Dwindle

Guardiola’s answer at Anfield reflects the pressure being put on him as City’s woeful form drags on. They’ve now lost six of their seven games this season, and lie fifth in the Premier League table , one point ahead of Nottingham Forest. Even Brighton have fallen behind, making City far from the tyrannical force that has taken the league six times since 2017.

And Liverpool, under Slot’s leadership, are nine points clear of the two nearest rivals Arsenal and Chelsea. This loss to Guardiola’s City shows just how far fortunes have changed this season.

Begone or Just a Blip?

Although Guardiola’s six-finger salute reminds fans of his reign over the Premier League, it raises a larger question: is this the Spaniard’s final straw, or just a sour patch? The comparisons to Mourinho’s waning years are inevitable, but Guardiola insists he is not bothered by the attention.

However, with supporters restless and teams withdrawing, Guardiola and City will need to act quickly. We will see whether he can pick up his squad and do a late-season turnaround — or whether this slump signals a broader trend. As long as Liverpool remain top of the table, they will relish seeing City struggle.
