Manchester: Pep Guardiola was not holding back after Manchester City’s win over West Ham. He was pretty upset with how his team played, even though they got the three points.
City managed to grab their second win in a row, thanks to some great assists from Savinho and goals from Erling Haaland. But Guardiola made it clear that he doesn’t think they’re back to their best yet. He said they were lucky to win and that their performance was lacking.
He pointed out that the team needs to step up their game. Guardiola said, “You judge the results, but we are not at our level.” He felt they should have been down a goal or two early in the match and that they need to find their rhythm again.
Guardiola also questioned why his players seemed anxious and stopped passing the ball effectively. He emphasized the need for better control and patience in their play. “We can’t just rush things,” he said, stressing that they need to build up their attacks more thoughtfully.
He acknowledged that they’re missing key players like Rodri but insisted that it’s about the overall game plan. Guardiola wants his team to be calm and make better decisions on the field. He knows they can improve, but they have to accept where they are right now.
In the end, he was pleased with the goals they scored and the contributions from players like Savinho and Haaland. But he made it clear that they have a long way to go before they can be compared to the Manchester City of previous seasons.
