Pep Guardiola Sounds Warning to Manchester City Players

City’s Dominant Win Over West Ham Not Enough for Guardiola

Manchester, England – Manchester City’s 3-0 win over West Ham United may have propelled them to the top of the Premier League table, but Pep Guardiola is not satisfied. The City boss believes his team must improve their performance if they are to remain in contention for the title come March and April.
City’s victory, which saw Erling Haaland score twice and Tijjani Reijnders net the other goal, marked their seventh consecutive win in all competitions. However, Guardiola was quick to point out that the team’s performance was not up to par. “The way we played with the ball, we have to improve,” he said. “Otherwise, it will not be enough to arrive in March and April in contention to win titles.”
Guardiola’s comments suggest that he is not pleased with the team’s overall performance, despite the convincing win. He even went so far as to criticize captain Bernardo Silva, stating that he was not happy with the player’s performance. “Bernie is my weakness, but today Bernie had to play better,” Guardiola said. “He knows exactly what we need to play better, but he has a special sense to compete and play and incredible attributes in the bad moments to step up.”
The City boss praised Haaland for his two goals, but made it clear that he expects more from his players. “I have to thank the Norwegian for his goals, but it’s not just about Haaland,” Guardiola said. “We need to improve as a team, and that’s what I’m working on.”
With City now at the top of the table, Guardiola will be looking to his players to step up their performance in the coming weeks. He will be hoping that they can build on their current momentum and maintain their position at the top of the table.
