Our performance giving me sleepless nights — Guardiola

Pep Guardiola admits his players are suffering and that Manchester City’s dire winless run is making him lose sleep.

Six defeats and a draw is the worst sequence of the Catalan’s managerial career. And things do not get any easier for City.

It amounts to the biggest crisis of Guardiola’s time in the dugout and he admits he is feeling the strain.

‘I don’t enjoy it at all. I don’t sleep as good as when I win every game,’ admitted the 53-year-old, who recently signed a two-year contract extension.  Yesterday, the English champions’ crisis deepened after suffering a 0-2 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

“Right now, I want to be closer to the players. My hugs and arms are closer to them because I know they are suffering.

“I know they are thinking “Oh my God, how were not able to win against Feyenoord? Why didn’t we score when we had the chances against Spurs?”.

“In good moments I have to be more aggressive to avoid complacency, but at the moment they want to do it, but we are not finding the right way”. — Daily Mail
